President Barack Obama’s job approval has dropped to an all-time low, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey shows that a mere 42 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance, down five points from a poll conducted in early October. The president’s disapproval rating stands at 51 percent, tying an all-time high for Obama.
In all, 41 percent of respondents say they have a less favorable opinion of the president since the 16 day government shutdown, compared to 21 percent who say they have a more favorable view since the shutdown.
The Affordable Care Act has made headlines since the flawed launch of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1, and the poll shows that the website’s glitches might have raised concerns about the entire law’s tenability. Forty percent say they are less confident in the law based on what they have heard about it in the last several weeks, while 50 percent say the last few weeks have had no influence on their confidence in the law.
Forty-seven percent believe that the law is a bad idea, compared to 43 percent who said they believed it was a bad idea in early October.
Congress didn’t fare well in the poll, with 63 percent of voters saying they want to replace their own member of Congress; that is the highest percentage on record since the question was first asked by the pollsters in 1992.
Does anybody really believe that BHO cares about his poll numbers or his legacy. He is doing what he wants, he is destroying the US and his Democrat fools and a few GOP rhinos are helping.
BHO is living his dream.
Can you imagine where his numbers would be if the media covered him like they covered Bush?
Obama’s current average approval rating is 43.9 percent.
Congress presently has an approval rating of only 8.9 percent.
@Greg: So we need to replace all of them! So because Obama is not considered as incompetent as congress, that makes him good? That is like saying that strychnine is better for us than warfarin. You never cease to amaze me with your ignorance Greg!
@Randy, #4:
Congressional approval figures are far worse than those of the President. They’re also far more consequential. Barack Obama won’t be facing another election. They will.
@Greg: And we will vote them out except for those in blue states. You liberals will continue to vote for those democrats no matter what they do!
What’s the point? Do red state voters think they can find replacements who are even more disruptive than the current batch?
