More Say Obama’s Presidency a Failure

A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds Americans are more likely to say President Obama’s first term has been a failure than a success, 50% to 44%. A 51% majority say Obama is too liberal, and Americans “are inclined to
say they disagree with him on the issues that matter most to them.”

On the positive side, 58% say he “has the personality and leadership qualities a president should have.” His favorability ratings are also higher than any of the GOP presidential contenders.

Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac poll finds Obama with a negative 45% to 49% job approval rating and voters say by a 50% to 45% margin that he does not deserve reelection.
