Obama Ratings Tumble

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Obama’s approval rate is now at the lowest point of his presidency, 42% to 55%, “with dwindling faith in his competence and in many of the personal attributes that have buoyed him in the past.”

“For the first time in Obama’s presidency, a bare majority of Americans, 52%, say they have an unfavorable impression of him, with 46 percent saying they view him favorably. Those ratings have declined from a net positive of 23 points at the time of his inauguration in January.”
