print email share recommend (2) President Obama's approval rating has hit a new low of 46 percent, according to a FOX News poll released Thursday. An equal number -- 46 percent -- disapprove of the job he's doing.

Breaking down the numbers by political party shows how sharply split American voters are over the president's job performance. While 85 percent of Democrats approve of their party leader, 80 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents disapprove.

The president's average approval rating for his term so far is 56 percent.

BTW, I am one of those who believe he is leading the way I expected, like a socialist.

I expected him to be an ultra-radical Marxist completely incapable of understanding the way the real world works resulting in incredibly dangerous naiveté...

I expected him to be bad. I guess most Americans did as well.

It is now safe to say that Obamao is the worst president in our nation’s history, and he is reaching for the title of worst leader in world history.

how can even most Dems support this?
if they had a brain they would see how he lied over lobbyists to helping big companies.
To not even knowing about what to do over the wars, to the bad economy he has done. To how he cannot even call a muslim terrorist just that.

Then bringing them here to face an easier court.
The list is endless and yet these idiots are either just too dumb, too lazy to get the info , to ignorant or watch MSNBC.

What idiot would close down gitmo and have no clue what to do with the terrorist or would sign and pass bills they admit they do not read.

51% of Independents disapproval is bad news for the Dems.

Ties in with the VA & NJ results also.

Blind, religious faith in the "elite" ruling class.

They place their faith in other humans instead of in God.

Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for Fox News from November 17 to November 18. For the total sample, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Then Obama's approval among 'likely voters' is about 43%.

Seriously. Did this moron really think the American people were going to support his cockamamie idea of giving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a circus trial in a civilian court?

Yup. He’s providing the kind of “leadership I expected, all right. Which might explain why I disapproved of him from the get-go.

Also on FOX poll...

As Sarah Palin blankets the media on a whirlwind book promotion tour, the former vice-presidential contender is clearly back on America's radar screen. Despite being characterized by many as a divisive force in her party and the nation, Americans are much more likely to give Palin a positive rating (47 percent favorable) than another prominent female leader -- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (28 percent favorable). Moreover, about six in 10 Americans (61 percent) think Palin has been treated unfairly by the press, according to the latest Fox News poll.

Palin has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012, along with a host of other Republicans. Among self-identified Republicans in the survey, Palin gets the highest favorable ratings (70 percent) amid a group of other possible contenders for the GOP nomination, including Mike Huckabee (63 percent), Mitt Romney (60 percent) and Newt Gingrich (58 percent). Palin's favorable score among all voters is 47 percent, up nine percentage points over last July's reading of 38 percent.

That is a nice - and accurate - summary of what we have to defeat.

Hey, Don! Do you know why Barack Obama doesn’t make jokes about himself?

That would be racist!

Bah-Dum-Dum!

Later.

Its still 56% percent. There needs to be a more significant shift among Independents to really bring the Obamessiah down to earth!

The American public now regrets marching to the polls singing the mantra “first black president” and electing the third marxist president.
