President Obama's approval rating has reached a new low according to a national Quinnipiac survey released this morning. The poll finds that just 44 percent of registered voters approve of the job he's done as president, and 48 percent disapprove. Two months ago, 48 percent approved and 43 percent did not.
Obama now barely has a positive approval rating in the RCP Average of recent national polls.
On the issues: 56 percent of voters disapprove of his handling of the economy; by a 46-43 percent margin, voters disapprove of his handling of foreign policy; 51 percent disapprove of his handling of the Gulf oil spill; and 58 percent disapprove of his handling of illegal immigration, including 60 percent who said the federal government's lawsuit against Arizona was a bad idea.
"Today, his support among Democrats remains strong, but the disillusionment among independent voters, who dropped from 52 – 37 percent approval to 52 – 38 percent disapproval in the last 12 months, is what leads to his weakness overall when voters start thinking about 2012,” said Quinnipiac assistant director Peter A. Brown.

Approval ratings are irrelevant to a dictator.
Voters didn’t change their minds about his performance on the economy after his rousing speech last week in Nevada, blaming everything on Bush? Huh....go figure!
“I’m all tore up about this... really. /s “
Do not be so happy, even though you did a /s.
The fact that he still has over 40% tells me all I need to know.... AMERICA is dead.
Go back and see some of the polls for RR and Bushs...down in the 20s!!!
More bad news for the gay socialist America-hating muslim from Kenya.
His acts against the nation make the crimes for which the Rosenbergs were executed look like child's play.
.....approval ratings don’t matter to him and the Dems...they have oodles of slush money(unspent stimulus $$$)and their hard Left base(Black,Jewish,Union,Felon,Illegal)
Your assuming anyone is still listening to the zero. I have tried to avoid his ugly mug and forked tongue for quite awhile now.
He is fixing the economy. Just like he wants it.
Wish it were July 2012 instead of today.
Don’t rejoice yet, like Clinton he has a chance to rebound. Particularly, if as expected, Republicans win big this year.
Good point. I would feel a lot more secure if 0's approval numbers were in the teens or even 20s. Keep in mind, though, the press is still promoting 0's "greatness" and there is a virtual blackout on any news that might taint his image. It was the opposite for both Bush's and, to some extent, Reagan.
“Obama DISAPPROVAL Hits New HIGH”
I've been noticing something lately in our community which gives me a bit of optimism. Ever since 9/11, whenever I hear the national anthem being played in public, the crowds have started cheering and clapping near the end upon hearing "land of the free", to the point where we could never hear the closing "home of the brave". In the last few swim meets I've attended for our kids, that has been absent. I see a lot of sober faces, applause at the end, but silence through "land of the free". I'm going to watch this. I think it's significant. Our community is generally liberal-dem upper middle class, with a lot of well meaning people who vote for social justice, and all that jazz. I think change is in the air; Americans are waking up to the dangers.
The Kenyan needs to appoint a Poll Czar.
“Good point. I would feel a lot more secure if 0’s approval numbers were in the teens”
Well, they should be, if this were 20 years ago, but we now
have a totally Marxist MSM, as well as education.
No doubt, 40% of America is brain dead.
The left will spin it as racism - White men having a temper tantrum.
