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.

Man, I love karma and to think, karma has not yet finished with the AnointedArse. =.=
They most likely will lose the Senate, and with his approval in the tank, they most likely would lose the WH.
They will pressure him to seek early retirement (shades of LBJ). In all probability, they already have a replacement being prepared. They don't want to go down with Obama’s ship.
And so far, the GOP field is in disarray, especially with Bachmann’s and Perry's ratings drops. Thus, the Dems see no insurmountable threat coming out of the GOP field.
Why insult hillbillies?
Thanks kristinn. He can only go as low as the population of Holder’s people.
She and Axelrot have done more to sink Bobo's ship one would almost think they were conservative sympathizers...
If it goes below 35% look out. He will be desperate and there is no telling what kind of executive orders he’ll start signing as the flying monkeys that surround him start to panic also.
agreed.
Gravity has Obummer now, he has passed the Event Horizon.
“If hes at 36% heading into another recession like they are calling it this morning, hell quit soon, i can see him getting out of the kitchen.”
You may well be right about that. Recession, high unemployment, a terrible housing market, scandals, and skyrocketing debt plus the increasing likelihood of a Republican House and Senate, could convince the narcissist to leave office. His speeches are becoming even more strident as those failures continue mounting. He’s cracking under the strain.
Obama headed in the right direction.
Epic failure!
“If The Ones numbers remain in the 30s by December/January, the Dem elites will be looking to put him on his intercontinental railroad and send him into history.”
LOL. Good post.
Just bring up a mental picture of Boehnor and the rest of the establishment Republicans. Now that you have that picture in your mind . . . consider what the average Joe Six Pack envisions.
“I wonder where Obamas numbers would be if he didn’t have the propagandists in the media supporting him”
The media propaganda machine bears full responsibility for promoting Obama and his destructive policies. The fact that the US is in such a sad state right now is directly attributable to the media’s sychophantic and unquestionning worship of him. We need to keep calling them out on their misdeeds and hold them accountable.
