Two new polls today find that just one third of the public feels President Obama deserves re-election while five times more Americans think Obama has done a worse job fixing the economy than Jimmy Carter, the modern era's Herbert Hoover.
Washington Whispers contributor John Zogby tells us that his new polling is spirit-crushing for the depressed White House. "It was a very bad week for Barack Obama. Our polling shows his job approval at 39 percent and the percentage saying he deserves re-election at 33 percent, both the lowest of his term, while the percentage of voters saying the nation is on the wrong track reached a high since he took office at 75 percent," he said.

With job growth at zero last month and the president sinking, Zogby said there is even more pressure on Obama to hit one out of the park in tonight's jobs speech before a joint session of Congress.

Must be killing Zogby to report this..
This was registered voters, correct?
Wow. One-third. Ouch. Let’s hope it holds (there’s nothing on the horizon to indicate it won’t.)
Obama akbar!
I think you’re right.
So when we call Obama the “2nd term Jimmy Carter” we’re really insulting Carter? Wow. I’ll do it even more often knowing that!
Obama needs to pull the giant rabbit that attacked Carter out of a hat to turn his poll numbers around
Hey, I’ve been insulting carter since ‘08.
Carter had a misery index.
Obama needs an agony index.
As a former Georgia resident, I have a 40 year head start on you.
Look at all those people (Democrats, to be sure) who voted for 41 as worst at fixing the economy, although he was obviously not nearly as bad as Carter or Obama and it was long ago confirmed that we had come out of a recession before the end of his term.
HA HA EXCELLENT !
Oh poor widdle baby, it’s been such a bad week for zero.
Well, it’s been a very bad 2 1/2 years for the rest of us, dammit!
Why Carter? Might as well just compare to W. That would really kill Zogby.
