President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News poll.
That rating is Mr. Obama's lowest yet in CBS News polling, and the poll marks the first time his approval rating has fallen below the 50 percent mark. Forty-one percent now say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president.
In last month's CBS News poll, 50 percent of Americans approved of how the president was handling his job, while thirty-nine percent disapproved.
Mr. Obama still receives strong support from Democrats (eight in ten approve of his performance), but his approval rating among Republicans is only 13 percent. More importantly, Mr. Obama's approval rating among independents has declined 10 points in recent months – and it now stands at just 42 percent.
Domestic issues – and not his response to terrorist threats - appear to be driving the president's approval rating downward.
Just 41 percent now approve of his handling of the economy, which Americans say is the nation's most pressing issue. Forty-seven percent disapprove. The president's marks on handling health care, with reforms still under debate in Congress, are even lower – just 36 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove. Both of these approval ratings are the lowest of Mr. Obama's presidency.

True. Half the polled people do not want to offend the fascist Kenyan for fear of an IRS audit. So they say they like him.
They hang up the phone and call Obama a sleazy, raceist, communist, dirtbag.
Watch those poll numbers drop now that Union members will be paying big taxes for their cadillac health plans
Bozos numbers will drop even more when AFC-CIO has to pay for their cadillac HC benefits
And they were probably the drunk kids who answered the phone survey while mom and dad were out of town.
Sort of like watching Slim Pickens riding the bomb.... The MSM is dilusional...
I check it everyday too. Mondays are usually more positive for 0bama, as it seems he does better on weekends with the three day rolling average, for whatever reason. Gotta love the trend, though. :)
One day soon, Obama will dip into the 30s.
Word.
I love that pic of her!

Although I really would like the believe the no’s are true...beware...
Lamestream/DNC strategy is often to feign an overly NEGATIVE view of their candidate.
Thus, when they pull all their lying-October-Surprise-type garbage and move trend swings their way they are able to proclaim their candidates’ “comeback” for months thereafter.
Don’t know if that’s what CBS is doing but just beware...

I completely agree with this. In fact, I fully expect to see CBS release a new poll right after the State of the Union address showing Obama’s job approval numbers suddenly surging back up to 54%. Naturally, to come up with this inflated number, the poll will grossly oversample Democrats. We’ve seen this tactic regularly employed by the state run media and it’s designed of course to try to ultimately dispirit conservatives. I’m not falling for it... I never have and never will give CBS’s polling numbers any credibility (even if their current 46% approval number actually appears to be somewhat accurate for a change).
To Re-paraphrase, one awshit wipes out ten attaboys.
The Press Whores are 99.999% in agreement with the atheistic, abortion, homosexual, sinful, Marxist agenda that Obama and Gibbs spout every day.
But, even the Presstitutes have to know, in their heart of hearts, what buffoons these people.
Compare Gibbs to the man that Tony Snowe was, who stood there on that same podium not too long ago.
Snowe once wrote this, and I know the Presstitutes read it. I wonder if it somehow touched their wicked souls; just a small part.
If you take away the 98% lock Obama has with African-American voters, who are 14% of the population, and even spilt that approval among them to 50%, then Obama's approval rating dips to the 30's.
If these were “Adults” polled then it is much worse then it appears since the order of polling accuracy regarding demographics has always been in order of reliability. likely, voters, registered voters and adults. Adults always give the left far more positive results then either of the other 2 groups.
It also includes the weekend, a notoriously strong polling period for liberals (I don’t know why but it just works out that way)
LOL!
Great stuff!
