According to new polling from Quinnipiac, a majority of Americans view President Obama's White House as incompetent. In addition, a majority of Americans are still questioning Obama's character and view him as dishonest and untrustworthy.
The Obama administration is not competent running the government, voters say 53 - 42 percent. The president is paying attention to what his administration is doing, 45 percent say, while 47 percent say he is not paying attention.
The president's character measures remain low:
46 percent say he is honest and trustworthy and 49 percent say he is not;
49 percent say he is a strong leader and 48 percent say he is not;
51 percent say he cares about their needs and problems and 46 percent say he does not. Olympic Terrorism
In the same poll, Americans still list their top priority as the economy, which explains their response about White House competency. For 77 percent of Americans, the economy is viewed as "not good" with a majority saying the economy is not getting better despite the White House touting economic improvement.
The economy is perceived as "not so good" or "poor" by 77 percent of voters. A small minority say the economy is getting better and many Americans say it is getting worse.
Naming "the top priority for President Obama and Congress in 2014," 15 percent of voters say the economy, while 16 percent list jobs or unemployment, a total of 31 percent, while 18 percent list healthcare, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. A total of 10 percent list the budget, the budget deficit, spending or other budget-related items. Another 4 percent list bi-partisanship or cooperation and 2 percent list education.
The economy is "not so good" or "poor," a total of 77 percent of voters say. Only 28 percent say the economy is getting better, while 26 percent say it is getting worse and 44 percent say it's the same.
"'It's the economy, Mr. President,' say dissatisfied American voters who are not yet willing to give President Barack Obama a thumbs up on his presidency," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Over the past few weeks, President Obama has been focused on income inequality and is expected to highlight the issue in his State of the Union Address next week.
What do you expect from these idiots? Not much goes into their pea-sized brains
Ha, I knew it before he announced his candidacy.
So voting against a democrat, even I have never voted for one and never will is racist?
You got it
You one uped me then. He didn’t shine on my radar until he made that crack. before that, he was illinois’s problem, so I didn’t care.
I do remember a couple of liberals at work being moon eyed after he gave the keynote at the Democrat convention. Didn’t realize how stupid America was until they started fainting over this d!ck wad.
Typical illiterate modern "journalist". 49% is a plurality, not a majority.
Blah, blah, blah
The rest KNOW he’s incompetent, but would vote for him again.
Thanks Kaslin.
“There are still FAR too many people out there who think Obama is a strong, trustworthy leader who cares about their problems.”
For sure. Always look on the negative, French surrender-monkey side. That will help raise your blood pressure.
“I know you’re a nincompoop, and I strongly suspect you of being a scalawag!”
What movie?
The Media’s dismissed of the park bench photo tells us how corrupt it is.
The Media is the Country’s greatest threat.
amen.
