President Obama's approval rating has hit a new low of 46 percent, even as a majority of Americans says he is providing the kind of leadership they expected.

print email share recommend (2) President Obama's approval rating has hit a new low of 46 percent, according to a FOX News poll released Thursday. An equal number -- 46 percent -- disapprove of the job he's doing.

Breaking down the numbers by political party shows how sharply split American voters are over the president's job performance. While 85 percent of Democrats approve of their party leader, 80 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents disapprove.

The president's average approval rating for his term so far is 56 percent.

He's providing EXACTLY the kind of leadership I expected, but I don't think that's the answer they're looking for.

if they had a brain...

There's your answer.

It's a party for those who feel instead of thinking and deny themselves of any actual facts and information.

This majority of Americans have been duped.

“.. even as a majority of Americans says he is providing the kind of leadership they expected.”

That might seem contradictory at first glance, but it’s not.

I disaprove of him, but I have to say he’s “providing the kind of leadership we expected”.

I figured it would be this bad, and it is. Hence it is “as expected”.

true

Many Dems I have met vote for them because they see a D.

The amount of times I have seen an obama sticker(very rare now a days) and I ask them about an issue and they have no idea how to answer or even what issues are going on.

It’s like they’re sheep and they need to be told what to say and think.Bit like a cult with obama as a leader.

Ever noticed how something happens like the shooting and they stay silent but hours later after they have heard the talking point they just repeat them.
Even on their nut case radical websites like KOS and move on they wait for their dear leaders to give them a talking point.

Very sad and history will show that obama voters are the dumbest voters this country has ever produced.
they’re ll go down as a cult like group with a cult like thinking

That warm, fuzzy glow of hope and change sure is wearing off quickly.

Last time I talked to one he said Oba Mao is the most honest Prez in history. I said he lies all the time. He replied I must be listening to Limbaugh...

COMMENT:

1)In a matter of 3 days since the release of Going Rogue Sarah Palin has turned her fortunes completely around. She has for the last 3-4 months had a minus 12-15 gap between her F/UF. 47/42 F/UF following a recent Rasmussen 51/43 F/UF confirms the turnaround that few pundits predicted. Sarah must be taken seriously now.

2) Sarah leads Huck and Mitt in favorables among GOP respondents (70-63-60) and among indies (49-44-35). This poll is bad news for Mitt. Trailing Palin by 14 points among indies is huge. Remember the narrative disseminated by the MSM on a 24/7 basis was that Palin was poison to indies.

3)But the huge news is that Sarah is 1 point ahead of the Messiah in F which is the first time Sarah has been ahead of him in any poll of F/UF and is 4 points better in UF, but what is truly unbelievable is that Palin has a 15 point lead in F among independent voters and is 13 points better in UF for an overall lead of +28 on the Messiah. This is so astounding that it destroys the MSM narrative completely that Palin is unelectalbe. I predict nobody but Fox News and right wing talk radio will report on this poll. There is no way CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, or MSNBC would touch this with a 10 foot pole. Holy cow!

But this result will go absolutely viral for the next few days.

“Did this moron really think the American people were going to support his cockamamie idea of giving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a circus trial in a civilian court?”

His job is to defend us, and he takes one of the most dangerous men in the world and plops him smack dab in the middle of Manhattan.

How many Americans will die over this?

It does seem contradictory. It may be that many Americans are in a state of denial about the stupidity of their vote even as they descend into ever growing misery.

Or it could be that the moral hubris of Americans has hit an all time high.

Still in double-digits, and that’s still too high.

Only 80 percent Republican disapproval? Thats strange I would like to hear from someone in that 20 percent exactly what they do approve of from Obama because Obama is intentionally destroying Conservatism in all its forms... The secret is out Obama is as far left wacky as it comes. What are these 20 percent waiting for, does he really have to declare Marshall law and start locking up political opposition before they will see the light?

Not to mention the cost of the trial that WE THE TAXPAYERS have to pay. The Security, etc. This has got to be the most idiotic decison and all the stir up his parties fringe wacky leftwing so they can rehash Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld hate during this show trial.
