President Barack Obamas approval rating has declined to an all-time low as public frustration with Washington and pessimism about the nations direction continue to grow, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Just 42 percent approve of the presidents job performance, which is down five points from earlier this month. By comparison, 51 percent disapprove of his job in office -- tied for his all-time high.
The NBC/WSJ pollsters argue that no single reason explains Obamas lower poll standing. Rather, they attribute it to the accumulation of setbacks since the summer -- allegations of spying by the National Security Agency, the debate over Syrias chemical weapons, the government shutdown and now intense scrutiny over the problems associated with the health care laws federal website and its overall implementation.

Those events have combined to erase some of the advantage the president gained with polls showing most Americans blame congressional Republicans for the shutdown.
And for the first time in the survey, even Obamas personal ratings are upside-down, with 41 percent viewing him a favorable light and 45 percent viewing him negatively.

The press must be spotting him 30 points...
Gosh, didn’t everyone assure us that Barry “won” the government shutdown?
That a-hat needs to RESIGN.
Not low enough!
Ted Cruz won.
People don’t like spending hours watching 404 error messages, having their insurance cancelled, and finding that their disposable income was just disposed of on insurance price increases.
“The press must be spotting him 30 points...”
My initial thought as well. How on earth could 41% still love the POS?
Hope it sinks to the bottom of Davey Jone’s Locker.
Careful folks. This is coming from Enemedia.
A likely scenario is the Marxist Progressive Communist Leftists (MPCL) of the Enemedia recognize that Ø has now a limited shelf life, and expires in 3 years. They are mindful of engineering an electorate mindset that, for an office that will be basically an “empty seat”, can be fixed with the next MPCL ‘Rat that runs for POTUS.
Its a shame that 41 percent of this country are so far up Obama’s ass with love that they will never see the forest through the trees..that fake smile, phony through and through, but they still worship the ground that Commie walks on
Yep.
NBC poll = 31% in all liklihood. At best.
Over sampled democrats with no likely voter screen. Maybe Cuccinelli will beat McAuliffe after all.
I'd wager it would be more like 30% if the RINOs weren't disgusting back-stabbing saboteurs only interested in profit for their globalist paymasters.
OMG! I can’t believe we have a Marxist as President!!!”

We hope that is the case, but America is still full of idiots, as proven by the Commie’s reelection.
Marxist education and Marxist media have destroyed America.
The Communist knew the keys to takeover.
It should be at zero.

He should be at negative 8.
