Obama Approval Rating In Free Fall
Obama's job-approval rating has slipped below 50% for the first time in his presidency, pulled down by concerns about the economy, federal spending, health care legislation and lack of leadership with respect to Afghanistan.
Historically it has political significance when a president can no longer claim the support of half the American people.
The bad news for Obama really started during the summer amid growing concern about the economy and unemployment. His approval rating was 60% in the tracking poll at the beginning of July, then significantly dropped that month and the next. Since September, his standing has been holding steadily in the low 50s.
The poor decisions made and the continued poor judgement shown by Obama and his staff are the start of a death spiral for the Obama administration. Afghanistan, Obamacare, closing Gitmo, and moving the 9/11 trial to NYC.
Personally I have never seen such outrage and discontent from Americans towards a first term president in his 1st. year in office.
