Barack Obama’s approval rating slid into dangerous territory this week, with the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll showing just 35 percent of Americans approve of the president’s job performance even as he leads the nation into a war against Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans expressed disapproval of the White House’s current occupant — 37 percent of them “strongly.” Just 17 percent strongly approved of Obama’s current performance. The poll is based on a five-day rolling average.
The White House has struggled under a series of escalating foreign-policy crises, at times appearing to flail for a response to Islamic State brutality and the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The poll likely does not reflect reaction to the administration’s broad air attack on Islamic State targets in Syria, conducted Monday night and slated to continue for the foreseeable future.
Ya should see what he did to the goat!
Pubs everywhere running for election should be HAMMERING their opponents as Obama’s butt boy..
Franken is an easy target... I don’t hear much hammering.
This is a huge switch. And why the change?
It's likely his far left who HATES that Obama is waging war. There is very very little support from them right now and that's why he's ramping up the global warming and racial type rhetoric pre election.
He may be trying to look tough...but that's not going to help the far left who are VERY VERY upset about the airstrikes. Hence his falling numbers.
It’s getting there, another ten point drop and I’ll be satisfied.
35% = every black + 1 stupid non-black friend
Showing his true self....BIG ZERO.
And that’s exactly why he decided to bomb Syria, so that he looks like a strong leader and the idiots approval ratings will increase thus helping the Dems in the November election..I dont believe the bombing will make any difference..the damage has already been done, ISIS is very strong now, which is what Obama initially wanted..he created ISIS, but now that he can’t control them he is going to try to take them out
I still can’t believe it i that high! OR that he got elected TWICE!
‘Semper Latte’
Just what I was thinking. Disrespectful SOB.
Headline earlier today: “Famous Actor on Obama: “Who Could Support This Loser Anymore?”
Recent news coverage has included anti-Obama statements from Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, and even Jay Leno.
The bloom is off the rose and there’s blood in the water, folks!
“but now that he can’t control them he is going to try to take them out”
For dinner and a movie, maybe.
He’ll never really turn on his Muz bros.
From what I’m hearing, yes some ISIS controlled areas were targeted but I haven’t heard about any ISIS members being killed..so somewhere Obama is pleased..phew, his buddies are safe
Polls like this are a priceless, but neglected resource:
Start with the 17% who “strongly approve” of Soetoro.
How difficult could it be to round up a measly 17% and deport them?
