Title: Gallup: Obama at 27% approval on handling deficit, 37% on economy, 40% HC

Gallup shows Obama at 27% approval on handling deficit, 37% on economy

Remember all that talk about Barack Obama’s bounce in the polls after the lame-duck session? We can officially proclaim that duck cooked now, and the bouncing cat officially dead, or at least comatose. Gallup’s latest survey on issues and presidential approval shows Obama below a majority on every single issue — and seriously underwater in the highest priorities for voters in the last midterm election:

President Barack Obama’s approval rating for handling the federal budget deficit has gone from bad to worse in recent months, even as his ratings on all other major national issues have generally held steady. Currently, 27% of Americans approve of Obama on the deficit, down from 32% in November, while 68% disapprove.

Overall, Obama is doing much better on international issues than domestic ones. Among eight issues on which Obama was rated in the new poll, Americans give the president the highest approval ratings on foreign affairs and the situations in Egypt and Afghanistan. The deficit, the economy, and taxes rank among his lowest ratings, alongside healthcare policy.

Obama's approval rating of 27% is almost twice that of Congress which is 15%

everything is relative

in general, we all blame the "government" for our current mess

most people (except for fringe element who wants govt to do NOTHING) seem to be putting more of the blame for the gridlock on Congress rather than the POTUS

I'll at least wait until the Repubs have a candidate

At that point you'll probably still be saying that Obama isn't going to run

Wait, is your point the 27% fine, since it's nearly double thatt of the Congressional rating of 15%?  I'd think that's a stretch.

No, it definitely sucks
Just pointing out that the other two branches of govt are even worse
The gridlock and ineffectiveness of our govt is at an all time high

I don't see anything resembling bi-partisanship on even the most mundane or procedural matters

It's fubar

The loser is incapable of criticizing Obama. For a real good laugh, read page 4 of the thread about Weiner's district. Really giving Blacken a run for his money for biggest moron on here.

I dunno.  Vince said that Obama's uncle might be an illegal here since he probably couldn't afford a ticket back.

I get your point, but great stuff didn't happen when the Dems controlled it either.
