A new poll by the independent Pew Research Center for the People & the Press has found that President Barack Obama's popular support is eroding, with his approval rating dropping below 60 percent.
"President Barack Obama's approval rating has slipped, as a growing number of Americans see him listening more to his party's liberals than to its moderates, and many voice opposition to some of his key economic proposals," the Pew Center concluded.
Its new survey finds Obama's approval rating falling to 59 percent from 64 percent in February. It also finds the ranks of Americans who disapprove of the president's job performance rising, to 26 percent from 17 percent.
Among those who registered a jump in disapproval were Republicans, up 15 percentage points, and independents, up 13 points, Pew found.
The survey was taken among 1,308 adults last Monday through Thursday and has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Pew poll is the latest finding that the president has lost some support as he's started to flesh out his governing agenda.
A McClatchy-Ipsos poll last week found his approval rating dropping from 69 percent to 65 percent. An average of six public polls in the last few weeks — Pew, Gallup, Rasmussen, McClatchy-Ipsos, Newsweek and Fox — put Obama's approval rating at 60.3 percent.

He’s a lying Commie, Born and bred—but he’s not natural born (at least in the USA).
I hope all the independents and rinos that voted for him have massive hangovers. I hope they feel intense shame, falling for that hustlers smooth talking pickup lines, only to be used and abused.
Democrats are still sucking the 0bama Kool-Ade, though.
I was polled by them recently and the caller questioned whether I was really serious about wanting oil drilling here in the U.S. - they definitely try to lead the pollee if they don’t get the answer they want.

Have another drink you.......
I believe he knows it still works and he also knew his numbers would fall. That is why he is attempting to install all his ideas before the numbers hit rock bottom. Get so many things going at one time and get them going fast before anyone has time to see what he is doing.
THIS is what happens when America lets the mainstream media, the effete collegiate intellectuals, inexperienced young voters and the entertainment-leftist industrial complex select our Presidential nominees (both of them) and the President himself.
You are correct, he is not a natural born U.S. citizen.
But he is a Natural Born Commie, both parents were Commies.
I’ve thought this turd belongs in the bottom of a toilet.
Whatever support I could have ever had is a non issue.
I do not care for socialist mooselimb, baby killers.
The List, ping
Let’s all start referring to “Obama’s Failed Presidency” as the MSM did ad nauseam to GWB.
That image is awesome. Your work?
I’m ready to hand the Prognostication Award for 2008 to Glenn Beck, for his astute observation last October that “at some point, support for this guy is just going to totally collapse....it just won’t be before the election”.
