President Obama's average job-approval rating for his second year in office was 47 percent, down 11 points from the 58 percent he enjoyed in 2009, according to Gallup. But another way to illustrate that drop is to look at his approval rating by state, and Gallup's surveys show that Obama tumbled by 10 points or more in 31 states.

His biggest drops were in Vermont (15.2 points), Arizona (14.5 points), Kentucky (14.2 points) Missouri (14.1 points) and Utah (14 points). Obama had carried Vermont in 2008 by more than 2-to-1 but lost to John McCain in the other four (although in Missouri, McCain beat him by only one-tenth of a point).

Some of the states where Obama had double-digit drops were strongly Democratic ones that had backed him over McCain by 10 points or more (and by as much as 2-to-1 margins) in the last presidential election, such as Minnesota (13.3 points), New Jersey (11.7 points), Massachusetts (11.6 points), Maryland (10.9 points) and New York (10.6 points).

And it's only going to continue to drop, gravity. Time to cut and run, MSM.

No mention of Rhode Island? He’s plummeted in RI.

It’s time Obama. Resign now.

The community organizer picked the wrong side when he chose the public union thugs over the taxpayer. As more people wake up to the fact that this isn't about a trade union bargaining in good faith against a corporation, it's about an arm of the DNC lobbying against the taxpayers, Husein's numbers will drop even further.

This rank amateur infesting the WH continually steps in it no matter what the issue. He runs to the cameras, inserts his foot in his mouth, then has to be reeled in by his handlers. He did it with Skip Gates in Cambridge, with Egypt, in AZ and now this. I can't wait till Jan 20, 2013.

And with gas prices expected to skyrocket, fat lazy americans might step away from internet porn long enough to figure out we are being led by the worst president EVAH!

I wish I could say that I am surprised that his level of support is still high in my state. The People’s Republic of Hawaii.

He got a significant approval bounce after the election beatdown when he (sensibly) agreed to extend the existing tax rates for everyone and it looked as though he was going to move more to the center.

But people are starting to see now that his move to the center was just a temporary, insincere feint, and as a result his ratings are starting to sink back down to where they were before.

Not a suprise, Hawaii hates white people and as the republicans are viewed as mostly white, anything with a pulse on the left (and sometimes without) will get their support.

[Jean2]

Isn’t that the truth!

Still at 55.1% in RI:

and over 65% in Hawaii, but he was born there, ya know.

[Free Vulcan]

How’d he do in the other 26 states?

[C210N]

In the state of Kenya, he’s at 100%. Not sure why that’s so, though... after all as stated in reply .-2, in Hawaii where he was born he is only around 65%...

You got that right the natives hate white people.
