How low can President Obama's approval rating go? Pretty low, it appears.
The president's approval rating reached a new all-time low, according to a national Quinnipiac survey released today.
The survey finds that just 44 percent of registered voters approve of the job he has done as president -- his worst score ever -- with 48 percent disapproving.
It was a year ago, during the summer of 2009, that Americas love affair with President Barack Obama began to wane. In July of 2009, the president had a 57 to 33 percent approval rating," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Obama has made some very unpopular decisions over the past year, including passage of the healthcare reform package that many polls found most Americans did not favor, policies that have not revived a bad economy and a delayed response to the oil spill that has ravaged the Gulf of Mexico in recent months.

Wow... more and more “racists” in the USA every day.
If 44% is considered “rock bottom”, what is it called when he sinks into the 30s?
He aint even close to Rock Bottom, but no matter how low he goes he will always have 12 % approval.
I don’t think he will sink much below 40%. Figue his minority support remains rock solid under all circumstances. That gets him to about 27%. Then add in the kool-aide drinkers among the government employees, the rabid lefties left over from the “Summer of Love” and the current skulls full of mush in school.
That gets us to about 40%.
Now, it isn’t as gloomy as it sounds. Many of the Congressional district occupied by the above demographic will be urban districts that conservatives (GOP or DNC) have no hope of winning. But outside those districts.... There will be some real chances to pick up a lot of seats in the House.
Now the GOP just needs a plan of what they intend to do and then they need to get some people who can lead. Both of the items are in short supply in the GOP right now.
44% of Americans are afraid of being called racists so they lie.
Hopefully, election season.
44%? That’s a bit high. I call BS on the poll.
95% black support will ensure that never happens.
40% should be Obozo’s baseline.
What’s incredible is that with 10% unemployment, record deficits and debt, bungling everything from the Deepwater oil spill to the choice of gifts for the British PM, and the guy is still at 44%.
When he gets to 24%, I’ll be convinced the country is coming to its collective senses.
We seem to have a whole lot of people on this forum who are affected by the “Pauline Kael syndrome.”
Just because nobody we associate with cares for Obama, that doesn’t mean the sentiment is shared among 34 million blacks, 36 million Hispanics, in Northeastern and West Coast liberal enclaves and on college campuses.
44% is probably pretty accurate though I doubt the support is very enthusiastic at this point.
At 44%, he’s pretty much lost everyone but the hardcore Kool Aid drinkers. And they’d stay with him if he told them to take a long walk off a short pier.
Which, come to think of it, is what he’s said, more or less, to all Americans.
Another poll I saw referenced here said black support was down to 85%. But 85% of 13% doesn't help much, he still has to count on the 40% of other Americans who really are terminally stupid.
The definition of terminally stupid is someone who still has an OBAMA/BIDEN sticker on their car. I still see them around town!
Rush Limbaugh is on DAILY telling over 20 million Americans Obama is hurthing America on purpose but Americans can't believe they've been had in the biggest scam since the Kennedy assassination.
I only see him going down from here. He has lost the one thing the obama-loving idiots think he had going for him - his great oratory skills. Everyone now knows he can’t speak without a teleprompter. And lately, every time he speaks, he comes across as nasty, angry and condescending.
He had 95% in the election and I doubt that he’s lost much. With few exceptions, blacks seem to think that backing 0 is some sort of loyalty test.
Not coincidentally, that same 40% you enumerated receive the largesse of our taxes and don’t pay any themselves. They are the parasites, living off us, the producers. Why would that class ever turn against the hand that feeds, clothes and houses it?
Not to mention siding with the drug cartels in the flap over Arizona's immigration enforcement law.
And for every week on the downslide, Boy Zer0 always seems to rebound for a couple weeks or so. America is like a serial spouse abuse victim -- momentarily hating what the abuser does, but abjectly unable to stay angry at him.
