Obama Poll numbers

President Barack Obama's approval rating has continued to drop during his second term, according to a Pew Research survey released Friday.

The poll found Obama's approval rating to be just 41 percent, down 11 points since January.

The decline in the president's rating this year has been more gradual than abrupt. Obama's numbers have declined across a variety of issues. His rating on immigration dropped significantly in the past six months, falling from 43 percent in June to 32 percent today. His approval rating on the economy, which had hovered in the low 40s for most of this year, is now at 31 percent -- the lowest received by Obama or any of his three presidential predecessors, according to Pew.

His approval on health care is at a record low of 37 percent, slightly below where it stood during the 2010 battle over passing the Affordable Care Act. His rating on foreign policy, a winning issue for him until this year, is now at just 34 percent, little changed from September. A bare majority still approves of the way Obama has handled the threat of terrorism, the poll found -- the only issue tested for which he did not earn a negative rating.

Obama Approval on Economy: 31%, Health Care: 37%

The downward trend in presidential approval ratings is not without precedent.

"Obama’s second-term job ratings have followed a similar downward trajectory as those of his predecessor, George W. Bush. A year after his reelection, 36 percent approved of Bush’s job performance, down from 48 percent in December 2004," according to the Pew Research report. "In contrast, the two prior presidents who won reelection -- Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan -- enjoyed positive ratings over the course of the next year."

The results align with other recent polling. An NBC/Wall Street Journal survey released in late October put Obama's approval at an "all-time low."

Pew Research surveyed 2,003 adults between Oct. 30 and Nov. 6, using live phone interviews.

Wow that has got to hurt his ego, rating lower on the Economy than the guy he has blamed all his woes on. :wink:

Saturday, November 09, 2013

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove

Rasmussen doesn't have much better news for him. :wink: Oh and Gallup had him down to 39% the other day. I guess it does matter when you are caught bold face lying to people. :wink:

Funny how Oldtimer isn't posting poll results or Late Night jokes anymore isn't it? :wink: :lol: :lol:

Bush had the liberal media tearing him down from the beginning, and Buckwheat has been propped up for the most part. Not to mention the fact that the poll numbers are likely bullshi?ed in his favor, depending on the sampling and the polling organization.

I'm sure it's just the Republican shutdown of government that is hurting everyone's approval ratings, like TSR suggested.

It will most likely be forgotten by the time the 2014 elections come around. It has nothing to do with obamacare.


:lol:

I agree that the Left bias media attacked Bush and drove down his number and have been propping Obama up, SO can you imagine what Obama's real numbers are if they are reporting Obama in the low 40's and high 30's.

Oh and remember this little story

Internal emails between senior officials at The Gallup Organization, obtained by The Daily Caller, show senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod attempting to subtly intimidate the respected polling firm when its numbers were unfavorable to the president.

After Gallup declined to change its polling methodology, Obama’s Department of Justice hit it with an unrelated lawsuit that appears damning on its face.

TheDC is withholding the identities of the Gallup officials to protect them from potential retaliation from Obama’s campaign and his administration
