LA Times | 10/21/2011 | Kim Geiger
President Obama's average approval rating sank to a new low of 41% in the 11th financial quarter of his term, according to a new analysis of Gallup's daily tracking poll.
That number is down six percentage points from Obama's 10th quarter average, and is the lowest 11th quarter average posted by a sitting president since Jimmy Carter, who lost his reelection bid in 1980. (Carter's approval average that quarter was 31%.)
