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:

• 17% give Obama an excellent job rating, 25% rate him good, 16% fair and 41% poor. Combining the two highest and lowest rankings shows 42% rating Obama positively and 57% negatively. (This is the standard Zogby International has used for many years in measuring job performance.)

• Likely voters are closely split on whether they have a favorable opinion of Obama, with 50% favorable and 48% unfavorable. Democrats are more positive about Obama personally than they are of his job performance, with 85% rating him favorably.

• 52% of all likely voters are proud to have Obama as President, and 35% are ashamed. The percentage of those proud is unchanged from six weeks ago.

• A majority of likely voters (53%) believe the U.S. headed in the wrong direction, with 38% saying right direction.

I suspect 30’s is more like the real numbers on the usurper.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Keep going DOWN!!

Zogby is a notoriously bad pollster. Rasmussen has ostammer at 46% (I believe), and Ras has the highest accuracy of them all. But ostammer has been slowly but steadily dropping in Ras polls, so it’s moving the right way. When Ras has him fluctuating between 38% and 43% week after week, I’ll be satisfied things are looking up.

Tentatively, I’d say America is starting to catch on.

[bustinchops]

All of us here do, but that won’t happen. I think the most we can hope for are the high 30’s to low 40’s - maybe 35 at the worst. 90+% of Blacks, some Hispanics, most Jews and hard left whites will never abandon him.

The average American is fine with whatever was or is done to terrorists to make them talk. Only the hard left and idiots like McCain give a damn about it. I think most people view this witch hunt as extremely detrimental to our safety. I think Dubya is looking better and better to them, even to some of those who didn’t vote for him.

Also, everyone knows ostammer could shut this witch hunt down with one phone call.

He's really become bitter.

I don't understand why so many libs are so angry and bitter. They have the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and they just got an activist, lib looney "wise Latina" appointed to the Supreme Court. Why aren't they laughing and dancing?

The Democrats were the KKK.

Correct. They hated negros, Republican, Jews, Irish, etc etc....The party of hate hasn’t changed much really.

[elizabethgrace]

Very clever, but fair warning! I’m going to be MAD at you if that song plays in my head over night!!!

Ok... so 42% of Americans still think the Failed Obama Administration© is a success? Wow! Who are these idiots?

[blackbart.223]

"McLame needs to go to a rest home somewhere as well."

What is with him? As far as I am concerned he gave Obama The White House. A pox on all of them.

[April Lexington]

I'm sorry. I don't want to sound like I'm going soft but... Obama has been used by the Left since the day of his birth. He is being used by the left big time since being elected. He obviously doesn't have the tools to be POTUS and when his administration collapses, he's going to take the rap. His puppeteers will slither off to huge lobbying jobs and he will be left the smoldering wreck. In a way, I feel sorry for him. He believed the communist bullsh*t and thought himself a demigod. In the end, he will find out what happens to use full idiots when the masters of communism dump the idiot. A shattered man.

Barack... take it from wise old uncle April... purge these bastards, lay low until 2012 and retire gracefully. Or, purge these bastards and get conservative REAL FAST. They are in it for the money. You have your reputation on the line. Think about it...

Some of us could care less if they got a hot lead enema.

I beg to differ. They have gotten worse.

[April Lexington]

Look at this picture. Who is the fool? Has he been invited to dinner at their homes? Do they invite him to private functions? No. They surround him because he is useful. Otherwise, they don't socialize (bad pun here) with guys like him. He's a pet monkey to their circus. If I were Obama, the whole administration would be purged by Friday. Obama can save his administration by purging the Leftist sh*ts and surrounding himself with Hillary's people or conservatives. Call Condi or that turd Powel. Its his only hope of not going down in history as the biggest sucker ever born... For some strange reason, I'm really starting to feel sorry for this guy. He has been used and abused by the Left since his birth.

You want to be legitimate, Barack? Then lead. Purge and lead...

[April Lexington]

Excuse me.. Jimmy Carter sold the Shah of Iran down the crapper for an oil deal for his buddies. The resulting Islamic surge has rsulted in 9-11 and Obama's mess (not Bush's mess, he's reitred) in Afganistan and Iraq. Thanks Jimmy.

He is an American but one of the dumbest idiots ever to occupy te White House. Even Teddy, the whale, Kannedy knew it.

[nutmeg]

The money you could be saving if Obama weren't president.

ROTFL! Love it! ;-D

Wait. Run that Jew thing past me again. When did the Democrats hate the Jews?

Damn! You can make more shorting Obambi futures than the regular stock market.
