President Obama's approval rating tumbled to a record low as Americans reacted to the government's sweeping surveillance programs and other scandals, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index.
The Presidential Leadership Index fell to 43.2 from 48.9 a month earlier. The 11.7% slide was the worst since Obama took office. For the fourth straight month, the reading stood below 50, signaling disapproval.
Revelations about the National Security Agency's surveillance of Americans' phone records and Internet activity dominated recent headlines. Meanwhile, more news came out about the IRS' targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
"Each day that passes there's a new mention of these things,"TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence President Raghavan Mayur said of the NSA, IRS and other scandals."They seem to kind of fester. They don't seem to go away."

It will never go much below 40, once you add minorities, moonbatshit crazy liberals, and entitlement junkies.
It’s hard to believe. In 2010 he seemed pretty unpopular. These days, everything is going his way, he can’t lose, and no criticism sticks to him.
Still TOO high. Need to be low 30s
Pretty soon it’s going to be time for 17 million to hit the streets.
I knew something was up when I seen him actually say something nice about George Bush yesterday.
Nothing sticks to him because the MSM protects him. Every single “story” about the Obamas in unrelentingly positive. He is ALWAYS shown as winning. Most of the media still loves him.
Maybe they always will. Can you just imagine what would have happened in the MSM had Bush been caught weaponizing the IRS against Democrats???? ABCBSNBCNNPR would be leading the lynch mob. Congress would be preparing impeachment hearings.
News “reporters” on the major nets would be crying real tears about how the Republicans were shredding the Constitution. With Obama...it’s “nothing to see here, move on”.
Well, he does one thing really well - taking vacations. The latest boondoggle must have been fun.
I think you’ll find there’s a depressing amount of overlap.
The media wasn’t protecting him in 2009/2010?
In other news,
The unemployment figures are down to only 3%. The twenty seven people still with jobs in the job market are doing fine!
At this point, what difference does it make?/s He will simply keep writing executive orders like delaying portions of obamacare until 2015 and giving ILLEGALS amnesty and no voter verification.
“What difference does it make?”
He was re-elected and he could go down to zero approval rating...
It doesn’t matter....
This is the best summer I’ve had since I was a kid. The Democrats are spinning like tops.
LOL. Like Obamugabe gives a shiite.
After Nov. 6, 2012, what difference does it make?
BTTT
