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."

And we were told no president could be re-elected with an approval rating under 50%. Obamas was and he still was re-elected. (of course, voter fraud helped).

‘It will never go much below 40, once you add minorities, moonbatshit crazy liberals, and entitlement junkies.’

Scary and depressing, but quite true.

The media has in many ways CREATED Barack Obama. They protect him at all times. Certainly since 2006.
