President Barack Obama's job approval rating is down to 42%, with a decline in approval from Democrats the leading factor.
The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 4,518 likely voters conducted from August 28-31 found 48% disapprove and 42% approve of the job Obama is doing. The poll found 75% of Democrats approve of Obama's performance, a drop of 13 points among Democrats from an interactive poll done July 21-24 of this year. That same poll found 48% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance, and 49% disapproving.

In the time between the two aforementioned polls, Zogby conducted a similar interactive survey from Aug. 18-20. That poll found 45% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance and 51% disapproving. So Obama is up very slightly overall from 10 days earlier.
The Aug. 28-31 poll also found that:

The Øbama limbo dance is on.
Nice application of “Rules for Radicals”!
I am very worried that you are correct.
The Marxist radicals have managed to get one of theirs elected to the highest office and he's appointing them to every level of government.
If Zogby is reporting that it’s this bad for Zero, he is really crashing!!
And you thought that there were a lot of zeros in their paychecks!!
Low IQ Marxist thugs who will laugh at you when you mention the Constitution.
Then later, they'll come to punish you.
You don't have to be sarcastic about it. The history of the KKK shows that it has been aligned over the years predominently with the Democrat Party!
Outside of the inner city, rich libs or mental institutions i defy ANYONE to ask 10 people ANYWHERE and get 4 of them to say this idiot is doing a good job. His numbers are far worse and the kettle is about to blow!
Why do you say that? The pundits are saying we are in for a robust recovery starting at the end of this year. Higher than normal unemployment, but a very solid recovery is in the cards (as the pundits say). Larry Kudlow, a Reagan conservative, says we are in recovery right now.
Barf! That’s the sorriest bunch of empty suits (and skirt) I’ve even seen! Ouch!
I’m just wondering what the significance of this graph is. How many of these presidents recovered from the below-50%-approval-rating before they left office.
42% is way too high!
52 percent of likely voters are that stupid? I trust this means that the 13 percent not mentioned are 'embarrassed'.
You are kidding right? Kudlow is a good guy but he is ALWAYS bullish. Good luck if you believe this stuff.....you will need it.
Yeah, I know about Kudlow....he’s a cockeyed optimist for sure. But it seems everyone is predicting a nice, robust recovery starting this year.
What say you? Why WOULDN’T this happen? It seems only natural to me.
During his tenure, I didn't question Carter's loyalty either. But in the last 15 years, listening to his remarks and watching his actions and his associates, it has crossed my mind more than once that he was our first mole president.
Where there's a whip, there's a way!
It is all Obama propaganda as far as recovery.
Business are not hiring anyone. People are scared and anyone with money is sitting on it. Taxes are going up, cities and states are broke. The market rally is over and China’s market may start falling apart.
American seniors lost a lot of wealth in the markets and are terrified by obama DeathCare. There is also a big demographic change this killing consumer spending. See Harry Dent, Dr. Gary Shilling and others who are very bearish.
Govt spending & defecits is off the charts and taxes are going up. Any recovery will be killed by higher energy costs. The sinking dollar will drive gas prices even higher. Higher energy prices will depress stock prices.
This is a replay of an earlier post:
This is a cut-and-paste from a NYT interview:
“It is true that as tough an economic time as it is right now, we haven’t had 42 months of 20, 30 percent unemployment. And so the degree of desperation and the shock to the system may not be as great. And that means that there’s going to be more resistance to any of these steps: reforming the financial system or reforming our health care system or doing something about energy. On each of these things — you know, things aren’t so bad in the eyes of a lot of Americans that they say, We’re willing to completely try something new.
But part of my job I think is to bridge that gap...”
AND...
“I knew even before the election that this was going to be a very difficult journey and that the economy had gone through a sufficient shock and that it wasn’t going to recover right away.
In some ways it’s liberating...”

My belief is that these words make it clear that the “Great Recession” was planned, and intentionally worsened, and will be further worsened, until all of his agenda is passed.

It is right out in the open. This was planned, and is planned to get much worse.
People who think that when SS and Medicare disappear, they will be OK, because they have a 401K and an IRA, and their own house, better think twice. You can lose your house. Many already have. You can lose your retirement, if not by outright confiscation, then by falling stock/bond/money markets. Then, think about “paying off” the National debt.
Taxes will not ever “repay” it. They are not intended to . Taxes will be raised, but for the purposes of punishing the “rich”, and damaging the economy. The debt will be paid off ONLY by “monetizing it.” Which means hyper-inflation. Your IRA will be worth a lot of money but the money won’t be worth anything.
Incidentally, I was involved in a construction project during Carter’s Stagflation. It caused a building boom, such that it was difficult to get concrete poured, at least in S. California.
