President Barack Obama's public approval rating has plummeted faster than President Jimmy Carter’s, reports RealClearPolitics in its review of Gallup polling.
Carter first polled at a 66 percent approval rating, dipping to 54 percent by September. Meanwhile, Obama has already tumbled down to 52 percent approval rating at the end of July, according to the latest Gallup survey.
The bottom line: Obama began his presidency at 68, hitting 69 the following day. That translates to a 16 point drop since day one. In less time than Carter, Obama has fallen more, concluded the RealClearPolitics review.
By contrast, Richard Nixon was in office more than a year before polling in the low 50s. Lyndon Johnson did not dip that low for several years. Dwight Eisenhower did not score in the low 50s until 1958.
The RealClearPolitics review comes on the heels of the latest sobering data put forth by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. In its report released this week, Obama’s overall job approval fell seven points since June – 61 percent to 54 percent.

And Obama is infinitely worse than the previous title holder of Worst President in American History — Doofus Dingleberry Carter
The moron sheep slowly awake.
Will it be in enough time to save themselves from being slaves to the federal governemnt, with their assets, freedoms, health insurance and earning power stolen?
Plum-met, Plum-met, Plum-met!
ARF
Going down bozo because people are fed up of a guy who can read a screen well but has no clue what the hell he is doing
Can you say stagflation...sure...I knew you could.
Looks like its time for the chosen one to start blaming Bush for something again.
lol that is so cool did you make it?
I’m guessing the MSM is finding it’s not as much fun watching these polls when it’s their guy’s numbers that are dropping like a wet turd on a marble floor.
Well, the stupid voters elected a stupid president and now they’re starting to realize they made a stupid mistake.
Funny how we could see that coming for a long time.
THEY’RE NOT FALLING FAST ENOUGH!!!!!!!
I’ve had this tagline for several weeks, and it still applies.
Here's the one I call: "Who's your Daddy?"
“the latest sobering data...”
Sobering? I think it’s cause for celebration. Maybe America isn’t as braindead as I thought it was, and might even put adults back in charge of the country someday...
Plummet for the Zero and Congress is fine as long as its not accompanied by a plummet in our standard of living, a-la the Carter years ... although I fear that that will be the case.
Be careful what you wish for, as the old adage goes
