Gallup: Obama approval hits all-time low
The Hill ^ | 4/18/2011 | Jordan Fabian

President Obama's approval rating has hit it all-time low of 41 percent, according to the Gallup daily tracking poll.

A three-day average of the poll shows that 50 percent disapprove of the job he is doing as president, two points shy of his all-time low.

Obama's approval was previously at its low point in August and October 2010, leading up to the 2010 midterm elections when the Democratic Party and he took a self-described shellacking.

The numbers come as Obama delivered his plan for deficit reduction and saw his spending compromise pass through Congress, although Gallup said that the budget deal did not have a tangible effect on his approval rating.

Obama's low ratings could be due to the still-struggling economic recovery and rising gas prices, which Gallup says have traditionally driven down presidents' approval.

P.S. In the time you have chosen to lecture me about “proper postings” I have counted no fewer than 10 fellow Freepers that have been members longer than me with their “editorial” comments by the title.

Ten wrongs make a right!

As I explained, one of the reasons I finally spoke up is that the problem is getting worse. And there are only a handful of posters who do this on EVERY THREAD. You are one of them. The fact that others do it too proves that it has the effect I have outlined.

Tobyhill, no one should need a “badge” to civilly approach another freeper about a matter of concern, have a conversation about it, and work it out in a way that shows maturity and consideration between two adults.

As I said, it’s hard to imagine that anyone believes their comments in the title box are so valuable that continuing to place them there is more important than simply being nice.

Thank you.

I’m done discussing the issue with you and because I’m in a good mood I will work on refraining from “editorials” in the title box, at least I’ll cut down on them.
