Obama Slumps to 35 in Latest Approval Poll

Barack Obama’s approval rating slid into dangerous territory this week, with the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll showing just 35 percent of Americans approve of the president’s job performance even as he leads the nation into a war against Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans expressed disapproval of the White House’s current occupant — 37 percent of them “strongly.” Just 17 percent strongly approved of Obama’s current performance. The poll is based on a five-day rolling average.
The White House has struggled under a series of escalating foreign-policy crises, at times appearing to flail for a response to Islamic State brutality and the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The poll likely does not reflect reaction to the administration’s broad air attack on Islamic State targets in Syria, conducted Monday night and slated to continue for the foreseeable future.

Obammy,
Lower than whale shit
To: what's up
Strongly Disapprove (37%) exceeds the (Strongly + Somewhat) Approve (31%) -> Abyss Index = -5! Even with "leaning approve" (4%) the Abyss Index is at -2. And from al-Reuters, to boot!
Rasmussen's Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sept 23, 2014 has ..."47%...approve...(F)ifty-two percent (52%) disapprove...23% ...Strongly Approve... and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18."

Still way higher than he should be. 3.5 would be more appropriate.
He has a 12% baseline of those who are emotionally vested in his race. Plus, another 8% of those who truly WANT to rip this country up. Finally, 5% of soulless political/business people who are personally benefiting in a very large way from the way he spends his money.

I cannot find a single news article on this poll. Nothing. Amazing bias.

Let’s acknowledge this report with a styrofoam cup salute! Cheers, but I offer up the more environmentally sound cocoa mug.
