WASHINGTON – A majority of Americans disapprove of how President Barack Obama has handled the devastating Gulf oil spill though far more blame BP for what people call a sluggish two-month response, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday.
It comes as the president seeks to show more forceful leadership in confronting the nation's worst environmental crisis and convince a skeptical public he's up to the task.
The survey found that 52 percent don't approve of Obama's handling of the spill, a significant increase from last month when a big chunk of Americans withheld judgment. But Obama's overall job performance rating didn't take a hit; it stayed virtually the same at 50 percent. That's consistent with the public's attitudes throughout his young presidency; people generally like him but don't necessarily agree with his policies.

Where’s Kanye? ‘Barack Obama hates beaches, the ocean, birds, turtles, seafood, fishermen...’. *crickets*
“Unprecedented”
“Let me be clear”
52% of the people are wise to Jr.?
Yeah, and I’m purple with green polka-dots.
I think more than 52% have this guy’s number.
"Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmmm"
This alien needs to be returned to sender.
Since nobody has said it, I’ll be first:
The Majority WHO disapprove of Obama on oil spill are RACISTS!!
LOL, why would you place any faith in an AP poll when you KNOW they are in the tank for him just as are the NYT,CBS,NBC,ABC,LAT, etc. You surely don’t believe their polls do you?
If Rasmussen and Gallup have him in the mid 40’s and they poll ONLY likely voters (Rasmussen 100% of the time)then it is obvious if you want to “take the temperature” of voters, these pollsters would be the ones to pay attention to on a regular basis.
And if they disapprove of his handling of this major catastrophe to such a greater extent than they did last month, then how could his approval numbers overall have remained the same?
What cock & bull! Tons of people dislike HIM immensely AND disagree with his politics!!!
I thought Murtha was dead...
well you’re going to love his tax hikes and new regulations tonight. :)
I personally blame the government more for this forgetting in the way of the clean up. They should’ve never turned down any help like they did.
They obviously didn’t ask ME.
I would have given them such a scathing answer it would have skewed and tilted the poll so far into the negative, The Lyin’ King would have been in a parallel universe.
Liz Sidoti, eh? LOL! I’m sure by tomorrow the AyePee will have a poll that tells us how improved Zeroman’s approval numbers are after tonight’s teleprompter reading.
Well this article and the fellows assessment may not be what people want to hear, but it sure seems more truth than all other reports and news we are fed. Bares returning to this link as things progress....at least if the worst occurs as he indicates then it will not be a surprise.
Additionally the comments which follow are as intersting...Thanks for posting!
I don’t really believe the AP poll, but then again, the American public DID vote for Obama, and if folks are that stupid, well...
Trust me, they are that stupid.
Apparently God isn’t too happy, either...lightening just struck a BP oil containment ship, which is now on fire in the GUlf.
Obama’s very own “Black Sea”.
The BBC just reported it was a small fire that was quickly put out.
Shouldn't they just let it burn? That's one way to clean up the oil.
