PHOENIX - Most Arizonans no longer think Barack Obama is doing a decent job as president.
A new Behavior Research Poll released Sunday shows that nearly four out of every 10 Arizonans now rate Obama's performance as poor or very poor. That's up 5 points from the same survey taken in January.
What's different is that the number of those who think he's doing an excellent or good job has plummeted.
Three months after taking office, fully 51 percent of Arizonans gave Obama positive ratings, even though the state went for hometown favorite John McCain in the 2008 election.
A year into office, that had slid to 40 percent. But by the time pollster Earl de Berge conducted this latest survey, between June 30 and July 11, only 28 percent of Arizonans were willing to say they like the job he's doing.
According to de Berge, much of that slide tracks with a separate poll he does asking Arizonans about their views on the economy and current job market conditions.

Arizona went red last time...this is not a surprise.
The Rising Tide of Racism rears its ugly head. (/sarc)
To bad the same is not happening to Juan McLoon!
Hugh!
28 percent? I'm somewhat surprised that Obama's approval ratings in Arizona are that high.

Uh huh. And they will re-elect McLame.
28 %
I didn’t know that AZ had 28 % Afican Americans.

Well, it is obviously 28% idiots.
Previous comment who should equal How! Sorry.
28% approval even in a red state is a surprise. These are Bush like numbers at the end of his second term.
I would imagine that at least 28 percent of the state population is Democratic. That could be where these numbers come from....of course I am only speculating. President Bush was ripped off in some ways with regards to his numbers.....no way perfect, but he cared about the US which is a plus with me especially now.
Phoenix, east, east L.A., has way over a million, and is very Democrat.
the hidden vigorish here is that obviously Hispanic support for Obama in AZ cannot be much more than 50%. Given the state’s demographics you could not possibly arrive at 28% total otherwise.
28% of Arizonians like the job Obama’s doing?
Are they dead???
Still 27.99% too freaking high....
