NBC/WSJ poll: Obama approval sinks to new low

[Straw Man]

LOL!!!!   

And Bush is to fault for that WHY? 

Obama / Sebellius wrote the regulations in 2010 cancelling peoples' policies.   Big difference moron. 

Did I mention Bush

Obviously the near collapse of the global credit markets  along with millions losing their jobs, homes, life savings ec.. was all Senator Obama's fault

He's a cunning bastard

again, TRY TO PAY ATTENTION

having your insurance cancelled (something that happened all the time before the ACA) is not the end of the world

you go out and get new insurance and sometimes it's even better

hardly the collapse of the nation but then if your mind has already collapsed then everything looks like a disaster

[Soul Crusher]

No it didn't happen all the time - more lies from the communist left to justify THUGCARE

Poll: Obama Job Satisfaction Hits New Rock Bottom
Wednesday, 27 Nov 2013
By Courtney Coren

President Barack Obama's job-approval rating has hit a new rock bottom — in a state that is vital in national elections.

Quinnipiac University's poll in bellwether Ohio gives him the lowest rating the university's polling institute has ever found.

According to the survey released Wednesday, Obama is underwater by 27 points in Ohio, which has picked the president in every election since 1964 and has been within 2 percent of the national vote since 1996.

He has a negative job-performance rating of 34 percent to 61 percent among registered voters, 10 points worse than the last time Quinnipiac asked the same question in June. Then, his rating was 36 percent to 59 percent.

His previous-worst polling was last week in Colorado, with a negative 36 percent to 59 percent.

"Clearly much of the reason for the president's decline in Ohio is 'Obamacare,' said Peter Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac's Polling Institute. "Ohio voters oppose the Affordable Care Act 59-35 percent. Perhaps more significantly, voters say 45-16 percent they expect their own healthcare to be worse rather than better a year from now."

This new low is telling, as Quinnipiac generally does not poll in dyed-in-the-wool red states. Instead it concentrates its surveys in nine blue and swing states — Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

The figures look even worse for Obama when broken down.

Among Republican voters, just 3 percent say they are happy with his job performance, with 96 percent dissatisfied. Independents also give him a massive thumbs down, 30 percent to 64 percent. Democrats approve of Obama 69 percent to 25 percent.

When it comes to the president's honesty and trustworthiness, 57 percent to 39 percent of Ohioans do not believe or trust Obama.

"President Barack Obama's popularity is at a record low in Ohio, and the first time his approval rating has fallen below 40 percent in the state," said Brown. "This is a state considered to be a national bellwether, where he got 51 percent of the vote just 12 months ago."

And it is clearly Obamacare and its disastrous rollout that is to blame, says Brown. Ohio voters oppose the provisions of the Affordable Care Act by 59 percent to 35 percent.

"Perhaps more significantly, voters say 45-16 percent they expect their own healthcare to be worse rather than better a year from now," he said.

"If voters still feel that way about their own situation come November 2014, that is likely to create a political playing field beneficial for Republicans," Brown added.

The Quinnipiac poll also asked Ohio voters how they would vote if a presidential election were held today.

Likely Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton defeats all likely Republicans, although New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is within 1 percentage point at 42 percent for Clinton and 41 percent for Christie.

Among other possible candidates, Clinton beats Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 49 percent to38 percent; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 50 percent to 37 percent; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 48 percent to 39 percent; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, 50 percent to 40 percent; Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, 49 percent to 41 percent; and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 50 percent to 35 percent.

Aren't Dems supposed to be afraid of Ted Cruz?

Isn't that one of the fairy tales that Repubs like to tell each other?

[Fury]

If Obama and the left actually cared about people as opposed to power then their ratings wouldn't be in the tank due to them viciously tossing millions of Americans out of their insurance plans and into the cold.

Disgusting, wretched people who care about nothing more than consolidating power.

Really have to feel for the cancer patients and other sick individuals getting stepped on by the left.

Obama at 42% approval in new average of latest polls
Posted by
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama's approval rating stands at 42% in a new CNN Poll of Polls that averages four new national surveys, with 53% saying they disapprove of the job the President's doing in the White House.

The Poll of Polls averages the four non-partisan, live operator national surveys conducted over the past week that measure Obama's approval rating: Gallup daily tracking poll (Dec. 7-9); Quinnipiac University (Dec.3-9); Pew Research (Dec.3-8) and Marist/McClatchy (Dec. 3-5). Since it is an average of multiple surveys, the Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error.

The Quinnipiac survey, released Tuesday afternoon, indicated the President's approval rating at 38%, with 57% of Americans giving him a thumbs down. The Pew poll, which released one hour later, put Obama's approval rating at 45%, with 49% saying they disapprove of his performance in office. Gallup's daily tracking poll, released earlier Tuesday, had Obama at 40%-51% approval/disapproval, while the Marist-McClatchy survey, which was released Monday, put the President at 43%-53%.

The 38% approval in the Quinnipiac survey is a new low for the President in their polling, and down a point since last month. The 45% approval rating for Obama in the Pew survey is a rise of four percentage points from late October.

In November, the President's approval rating reached new lows or tied his all-time lows in six national polls, including CNN-ORC International.

The President's approval ratings ranged from the upper 40's to the low 50's from the beginning of the year through May in most national polling, but steadily declined in the following months, as Obama dealt with one controversy after another, from NSA surveillance and IRS targeting of conservative groups to the extremely flawed rollout of the new federal health care law.

Obama should be Time's Person of the year.

Why?

Cause we've seen him go from being essentially the most popular/exciting man in the world in 2008, to a laughingstock worldwide, shady and neocon as they come, and crashing low popularity.

Still not nearly as low as when Bush left office, some had him as low as 22%.  Obama's still a long way from that.  But seeing his fall from grace, I think he could be person of the year.

I bet it'll go to snowden though.  But obama's fall has been a big one. 

Still, Bush at 22%, yikes.

The clowninchief's job approval would be even lower if the liberal media stopped propping him.

Exactly. Bush was a fuck up, but he reached the 20's because the media grilled him relentlessly on all his bs. But with the media sugar coating all of obamas bs, it will be hard for him to drop under 40% regardless of how bad he really is

Then the libtards will point to the approval numbers and claim that he was a good president.

His approval ratings are just like the "official" unemployment rates. They are manipulated.

The unemployment rate is more like 13 to 15%.

His approval rate, if they got after him like they do with ANY republican president, should be in the 20's with no chance of getting to 30.

Obamacare Backlash Pushes President's Disapproval to All-Time High
Wednesday, 11 Dec 2013
By Melanie Batley

A number of prominent national polls have found that more than half of Americans now disapprove of the job President Barack Obama is doing, hitting all-time highs as opposition mounts to the new healthcare law.

A Wall Street Journal/ NBC Poll conducted Dec. 4-8, found that 54 percent of the 1,000 people surveyed now disapprove of the job the president is doing, with 60 percent citing the Affordable Care Act as the main factor shaping their view of the president.

Forty-three percent still give him a positive approval rating.

Exactly half the public says they think Obamacare is a bad idea, according to the poll, compared to just 34 percent who think it's a good idea, also marking a record high.

A poll by CBS News/ New York Times released Tuesday put the figure even higher, with 54 percent saying they disapprove of the new healthcare law.

"The president is being weighed down by one issue, his healthcare law," said Democratic pollster Fred Yang, who helped direct the Journal/NBC poll. "It's probably fair to say that as goes healthcare, so goes the Obama presidency for the next year."

Other polls released Tuesday also show that the president's disapproval ratings have escalated to their worst levels.

A Quinnipiac University Poll conducted Dec. 3 - 9, found that 57 percent of the 2,692 registered voters surveyed disapprove of the president, compared to 38 percent who approve. The disapproval figures mark an all-time high for the poll, and a three point increase in just one month since November.

An Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday indicated almost identical findings, with 58 percent of those surveyed giving the president a negative job approval rating compared to 42 percent who approve.

In addition, the Marist College/ McClatchy newspapers, Pew Research Center/ USA Today, and Bloomberg polls show the president's disapproval ratings over 50 percent, as well.

But the president has plenty of company, apparently, when it comes to low job performance ratings. The newly-released polls found major disapproval with the job Congress is doing.

In the Journal/ NBC poll, 79 percent said the performance of 113th Congress is one of the worst ever. The AP poll put the figure even higher with 86 percent of adults saying they disapprove of Congress. The CBS/ Times poll, meanwhile found 83 percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing.

Forty-three percent still give him a positive approval rating.

He'd still win a presidential election if he could run in 2016.  I think we all know this.  What was his approval in 2012?  He still won handily over romney.

Bush left office at 22% in CBS/NYT poll.   Obama's got a long way to go.  He's still at 42% after 6 years of straight liberal rule - that's outfckingstanding lol.  he should be at 22%.  being in low 40s is a miracle.  I remember a poll a few years back, getbiggers were predicting low 30s, never happened.

It is difficult to have an approval rating lower that 40% when the media protects you and sugar coats all bad news as much as they possibly can.
Not to mention his approval rating is still 90% for a 'certain group' that makes up 13-15% of the population

Correct.  It's never going to drop much lower than 40 percent, because of his rabid fan base.

maybe it's the media... but all we hear is "Fox is #1" and "nobody watches msnbc".  Social media is everywhere.  Can't hide a benghazi anymore.  And really, how many swing voters are watching cable news?  They're watching The Voice or going out or raising families.  I'd argue most watching cable news right now already know how thye'll vote in 2016, which party.

Mainstream media caused 1 in 5 voters to change position?  (22% bush vs 42% obama)... I have to think their power is much less.

Correct.  It's never going to drop much lower than 40 percent, because of his rabid fan base. 

his fan base is poor people, and you're 100% right - the more poor ppl he creates, the more he solidifies his voting base.  Romney was right about 47% of people that are going to vote obama no mattter what.
