President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News poll.
That rating is Mr. Obama's lowest yet in CBS News polling, and the poll marks the first time his approval rating has fallen below the 50 percent mark. Forty-one percent now say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president.
In last month's CBS News poll, 50 percent of Americans approved of how the president was handling his job, while thirty-nine percent disapproved.
Mr. Obama still receives strong support from Democrats (eight in ten approve of his performance), but his approval rating among Republicans is only 13 percent. More importantly, Mr. Obama's approval rating among independents has declined 10 points in recent months – and it now stands at just 42 percent.
Domestic issues – and not his response to terrorist threats - appear to be driving the president's approval rating downward.
Just 41 percent now approve of his handling of the economy, which Americans say is the nation's most pressing issue. Forty-seven percent disapprove. The president's marks on handling health care, with reforms still under debate in Congress, are even lower – just 36 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove. Both of these approval ratings are the lowest of Mr. Obama's presidency.

Meaning...it has everything to do how he responded to the terrorist threats
Is this all Americans, registered or likely voters?
I don’t watch that channel but pretty funny comment by Gregg, thanks for posting it.
Neither: 1216 ADULTS
“Mr. Obama still receives strong support from Democrats (eight in ten approve of his performance),....”
Sooooo......basically these numbers tell us that there are a lot of stupid Democrats out there.
Meaningless poll:
“This poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,216 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone January 6-10, 2010. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones.”
It’s really much worse for him.
BUT the Magic Negro has accomplished this ALL BY HIMSELF in 12 short months.
He has accomplished this in spite of the fact that the media has been covering for him and fawning over him to the same extent that they bashed Bush. Imagine if they had treated him in the same manner that they treated Bush. He’d be in negative numbers!
“This poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,216 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone January 6-10, 2010. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.”
In that case you can realistically deduct an additional 5% from his positives.
“GW Bush’s approval rating dropped to these levels after YEARS of constant, non-stop, venomous media attacks and democrat’s bashing. (And poor defense from Team Bush, I’ll add)
BUT the Magic Negro has accomplished this ALL BY HIMSELF in 12 short months.”
Yes and if the liberal news media reported the news fairly, his approval would be even lower or non-existent because I don’t think many people know or understand how horrible his decisions have been thus far because they get a biased and usually favorable report instead of the reports that he should get for making such unfavorable decisions.

I HOPE it’s in the low thirties next year. I HOPE he has the lowest approval ratings ever! BWA HAHAHAHA!
tick....tick....tick....
Held if off as long as you could eh CBS? Finally had to admit he was below 50 you bunch of idiots. Waterloo baby! Ps, with Obama at 46 in this poll makes me more confident than ever in:
Palin 2012.
It's not low enough.
People need to wise up even more.
BECAUSE IT SHOWS HIM TO BE A LIAR.
