The White House has been fond of citing turning points lately, most recently when describing the administration's handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Now President Obama faces a turning point of his own — and not for the better.
A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds Obama's approval rating to be the lowest it's been since he took office 18 months ago. According to the poll, only 45 percent approve of the job Obama is doing in the White House, compared with 48 percent who disapprove. And the numbers only get worse from there: Sixty-two percent of respondents believe the country is on the wrong track — the highest number recorded since just before Election Day in 2008 — and just one-third believe things are going to get better, a 7-point drop since a month ago and the lowest such number in the Obama presidency.
The fallout from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill appears to be the biggest drag on Obama's numbers. Fifty percent disapprove of his handling of the crisis — including one in four Democrats. But generally, the poll finds increasing doubts about Obama as a leader.
Just 49 percent of those polled give Obama positive ratings when asked if he has "strong leadership qualities" — that's a decline of 8 points since January and nearly 20 points from when he first took office.
Less than half rate him positively when asked if he's "honest and straightforward." In January '09, 63 percent gave him positive marks for "being firm and decisive in decision-making." That number is now at 44 percent.
Asked about his "ability to handle a crisis," only 40 percent rate him positively, an 11-point drop since January. You can read the full poll results here.

Pretty funny... Thanks.... Maybe your FR name should have been Whistlebritches :)
I think he’s a psychopath.
And I think those in charge of him twisted him in that direction with evil intent. He was rejected by both his mother and father. Also, there is reason to believe he was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of a friend of his grandfather, a Communist.
What is it that the Communist say, “If you give us a child for a few years, he’s ours for life?”
And they him had under their control for more than a few years.
Therefore, my best guess of Obama psychology is that he’s a psychopath who has adopted Communism because he finds the ideology very useful for his own ends, which is a Communist USA and himself as dictator.
This is the ultimate psychopathic dream.
He doesn’t care about the polls, does he? I love your accompanying picture!!!! Home run!
Are you referring to Frank Marshall Davis?
Yes. Also, to the fact that Obama wrote a poem about “brown stains” in his shorts & “Pop’s.”. This could indicate sexual activity.
