For the first time, a majority (50.1%) of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s job performance in the Realclearpolitics.com poll average. Just 44.9% think he’s doing a good job.
The weak economy, which helped carry Obama into the Oval Office in 2008, is now dragging him and his fellow Democrats down on the cusp of the midterm elections.
U.S. economic growth is unusually sluggish

44.9% approval
arrrghhh
Are these people all unionists, journalists, trial lawyers, professors and govt bureaucrats?
About 28% to 32% of Americans are hard core lefties. There is literally nothing Barack Obama could do to lose their vote.
I can name two, Reagan and Clinton.
Clinton had the entire MSM on his side and a third (hired) party that took 15% of the "rights" vote. Reagan had the ENTIRE MSM against him... hence the lower ratings.
Agree...
What will control this is the economy and unemployment. I hope the economy gets better, but given the policies in place, I don’t see it happening. Neither Carter nor Reagan had to deal with 10% unemployment upon re-election. Add to the fact that Dear Reader will be defending continued war (hurting him with the base), higher taxes (hurting him with taxpayers), health care taxation, and immigration (both sides will bash him, just like they did Bush) and his re-election is in tenuous at best.
DOH! I meant “Clinton” not Carter. Argh.
Who ARe these STUP 44%?
Factually incorrect. Reagan was well over 50% approval all during 1984 Clinton was over 50% starting in Feb of 1996

What is the number if whites answered honestly, not afraid of being perceived as racist?
you forgot to include illegals, felons and dead voters

The people that voted for him, like my kids, are getting the screw of a life time. The people getting hurt the most voted for this Communist Prick and I hope they get a good dose of the pain so they never vote communist again.
That may be the way 44.9% responded. But given his colossal failures it's more likely they voted the way they did to keep his numbers from being embarrassingly low.
NOT factually incorrect. We are talking about Obama’s disapprovals halfway through his term. You did not ask about prior presidents at election time. We don’t know what Obama’s disapprovals will be at election time.
49% = Post office employees, College kids, prison inmates, Kenyans, and Islamo jihadists.
“Yes, more like 75 % Disapprove...”
The actual fraction of Missouri voters who voted for the anti-Obamacare proposition was far higher than pre-election day polls had suggested it would be [I think, but am not certain, that pre-election polls had support at only 58%).
Some stupid black commie female on CNN just blamed it on PTBPS...Post Traumatic Black President Syndrome...
He's soo, .. sooo.. Obama!!!!!

I can’t wait to see it on the 6 o’clock news. No, wait.... They’ll probably be covering some airhead celebrity slut.
Obama is a Poli-Tick: the more you despise him, the more childishly-entrenched he burrows himself. He fancies himself Hugo & Kim rolled into one ‘clean, articulate Dictator-For-Life’.
