President Barack Obama's approval ratings have fallen to a new low, with only 36 percent of Americans saying that they approve of the way he is handling his job overall, according to a new poll from the Economist/YouGov. A majority of Americans - 56 percent - disapprove of the president's performance.
Even more concerning for the president may be the news that top Republican candidates have moved within striking distance in head-to-head matchups. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney trails Obama by just a 44 percent to 43 percent margin, while Texas governor Rick Perry trails 46 percent to 42 percent.
As has been the case in previous polls showing the president's slipping approval, Americans seem frustrated primarily in a souring economy. Only 30 percent of Americans strongly or somewhat approve of the president's handling of the issue. 50 percent of Americans believe that the policies of the Obama Administration have hurt the economy, and 53 percent say that they have hurt the middle class.

Once slips below 35% its game over as nobody has ever recovered after falling that low
if the media were reporting him the way they’d report a conservative white guy, he’d be a lot lower.
Pretty soon, his approval ratings will be coming only from hard-core Marxists and the 92% of blacks who will be voting for him, no matter what, just because he’s “black” and “one of them”.
The part of that story that says most americans trust the democrats over republicans to create jobs is truly insane!
Does anyone remember the lowest President Bush was at towards the end of his second term?
We know we are going to win we just have to make sure a CONSERVATIVE is our winner.
What that goes to prove is people are still stupid that they hang onto Govt spending to get them out of it....that don’t work folks.
Its the weening the kid of the milk syndrome. It will take time but its looking like they have finally getting of the Obama koolaid.

Believe it or not GW Bush had a 22% approval rating from Gallup just prior to leaving office.
According to Freeman:
Like in the 20’s
It remains to be seen how the sheeple will respond when his magic unicorn runs out of skittles...
Out here among the great unwashed, bitter clinging racist millionaires and billionaires it's probably more like 4% approval.
The hand waving photo op last week showing Obama to be the stupidest, most ignorant, mouth breathing, club footed hillbilly ever to be elected president really just did it for me. I wash my hands of this drooling Cletus.
Obama is rapidly becoming a noose aroud the dem’s neck.

Thanks to Maxine, I now refer to it as the Obama beer.
