New polling released by CBS and the New York Times shows a majority of Americans are disappointed in Obama's presidency and put his approval at just 41 percent, plummeting five points over the past month.
Amid continued pessimism about the economy and direction of the country, 59 percent of Americans say they are disappointed in Mr. Obama's presidency (including 37 percent who are very disappointed); 40 percent are satisfied. Much of this discontent comes from Republicans and independents, but a quarter of Democrats express at least some disappointment.
President Obama's overall approval rating is now 41 percent, a dip of five points from last month and similar to what it was in December. Fifty-one percent disapprove of the job he is doing, up four points from last month.
President Obama and Democrats have been desperately trying to distract away from Obamacare, the issue fueling bad numbers, with topics like hiking the minimum wage. They've been increasingly unsuccessful. Just this week, Harry Reid tried to say Obamacare horror stories weren't true, only to find himself under fire for his remarks while inadvertently bringing the focus of debate back to the healthcare law. Further, almost half of Americans want Obamacare completely repealed.
Fifty percent think the health care law has good things in it but changes need to be made to make it work better; four in ten want the law repealed entirely (including 70 percent of Republicans).The midterm elections for Republicans just keep looking better.
If you ask me, that is still to high
“You might find that a large percentage wish that Obama was more of a communist than he is.”

You mean, they wish he would implement a Marxist society faster then he has.
Obama, just as his father, IS a Marxist, but he must remain stealth about it.
Majority? The rest are socialists and their low information useful idiots free from “job lock”

I expected Obama to be a destructive, ineffective, anti-American thug who would waste trillions of tax dollars while trampling the rights of decent Americans and doing everything he could to make terrorism easier for our enemies. I’m disappointed that Obama is dramatically worse than I expected.
CBS/NYT Poll: Majority of Americans Disappointed With Obama’s Presidency
...and most of the rest knew what was coming well before inauguration day.
Exactly. The numbers are meaningless. It should be zero percent. And the reason given for their dissatisfaction should be, “Because he is overstepping the powers granted him by the Constitution and spending money on programs unauthorized by Article 1, Section 8.” There was a time when nearly every ordinary American citizen would have recognized this and articulated a similar response. But the American people today are woefully and pathetically ignorant of our First Principles.
Some rough suggestions might include something like the following, relating to B-O and his goofy team:
47%, huh... where have I heard that number before?
Dissatisfaction with obama = racism.
well the minimum wage hike was a bomb,,Reid killed it in the Senate. I just pray America survives this nasty corrupt regime.
Just realized this is a CBS/NYT poll ....wow! Obama couldn’t cherry pick a more sympathetic crew and STILL he is tanking and bad!
The Unsures are the ones trembling in fear or not wanting an audit along with the clueless.
Sickened comes to mind...............
This poll is much different then the Gallop poll that was shown on this website.
DISGUSTED is a better description.
Yeah, but that 47% is getting hurt at least as badly as everyone else. The fact that they don't realize what's happening to them is scary.

the unsure communty appears to have grown by leasp and bund since this dope was first elected
perhaps they are simply too timid to make their opinions known and stupid enough to somehow think that their identities could be determined and ...that they might be punished for speaking an honest dislike of the evil SOB?
Amen Kaslin!!!
