A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that just 41% of Americans approve of the job President Obama is doing in office, while 48% disapprove, and 11% are unsure.
It’s Obama’s lowest job approval rating since September 2011 when 39% of voters gave him high marks.
Meanwhile, Gallup finds Obama’s job approval for the last three full months has averaged 47.9%, the second straight quarter in which his approval rating dropped.
Jonathan Bernstein explains why Obama’s approval rate still matters even though he will not face re-election.
