PRINCETON, NJ - The latest Gallup Daily tracking three-day average shows 41% of Americans approving of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. That ties his low as president, which he registered three times previously -- twice in August 2010 and once in October 2010.
July 2009-April 2011 Trend: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president? % Approve
The current 41% approval rating from April 12-14 polling includes interviews conducted before and after Obama announced his plan for deficit reduction on Wednesday. It also comes in the same week Congress is voting on the 2011 budget deal reached last Friday. The deal did not seem to have an immediate effect on the way Americans viewed Obama, given his 44% approval rating in the three days prior to the agreement and his 46% rating in the initial days after the agreement.
The economy is likely also a factor in Obama's declining ratings. Though unemployment is improving according to government estimates, the economic recovery remains slow and is being challenged by rising fuel prices. Presidents' approval ratings have historically suffered in times of high gas prices.

Look what Mr. Trump has done and he hasn’t announced his candidacy yet. He is like a boa slowly wrapping himself around his prey and Obama will not be able to escape.
survey of adults not likely voters.
That's part of the ticket. I doubt if it gets any higher.
Thanks mikelets456. The worst news for Zero is, this 41% is among his *supporters*. ;’)
I just love fake polls, don’t you?
The estimates are improving, the economy is not.
To really drive it home, we need to have a steady drumbeat of how unelectable and how unpopular Obama is. We could hear that drumbeat throughout the eight years of GWB’s administration, and we’ve been hearing it about Sarah Palin since John McCain tapped her (euphemism, just not what you think) for his running mate.
Too bad Fox News is being infiltrated. If only we had a truly conservative major outlet for the truth without all the “fair and balanced” disseminating of the leftist’s lies and propaganda.
