(CBS News) President Obama's approval rating has hit the lowest level ever in CBS News polling, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times survey. The drop may be partially attributable to rising gas prices.
Just 41 percent of Americans approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, according to the poll, conducted from March 7 to 11. Another 47 percent disapprove of his performance, up from 41 percent last month.
Mr. Obama's approval rating was 50 percent last month.
The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 12 cents over the past two weeks. The poll found that most Americans, 54 percent, believe gas prices are something a president can do a lot about.
*****
Mr. Obama's job rating on the economy remains about the same as it was last month - 39 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove.
The economy and jobs remains the most important problem facing the country today, according to 51 percent of Americans. Three in four Americans think the economy is at least somewhat bad, including 30 percent who say it is very bad.
More Americans, 30 percent, say the economy is getting better; 24 percent say it is getting worse. The public's economic outlook was slightly better last month, when 34 percent said the economy was getting better.
Just 20 percent of Americans feel their family's financial situation is better today than it was four years ago. Another 37 percent say it is worse, and 43 percent say it is about the same.

How delicious that this was pounded into the public's head as an indisputable fact by the Democrats and their media allies to attack Bush - now it's coming back home to roost.
The lame stream media does this every election. About Sept., his polls numbers will rise and every idiot will want to be on the winning side. Can you say, “The come back moron!”
“this was pounded into the public’s head as an indisputable fact by the Democrats and their media allies to attack Bush”
THANK YOU...
I’ve been saying this for months now....
*Just 41% approve*
Still way too high since they don’t pay the national bills.
Welfare and ObamaBucks is not serving them enough ice cream and cash.
“About Sept., his polls numbers will rise and every idiot will want to be on the winning side.”
They’ll try, but I don’t think it’s going to work.
How can 41% be dumb enough to still approve?
Oh, nevermind ....
Any second thoughts on the oil pipeline, Zero?
that certainly is a more all-inclusive, pro-diversity sort of policy.
Don't screw with the price of gas or beer.
That's 15% off the top...maybe 25%.
Most Americans don't comprehend the other stuff.
But they will sign up with somebody, credible, who says they can bring back $2.50 gas. That's more than they would get from some new "program".
I believe this thrust will work.
Gingrich is showing signs of genius. Too bad 60% of the people in America don't like him. Maybe more.
Countdown until Jackwagon leaves Office: 313 days as of March 13, 2012.
I would say that, bottom line, if a majority of voters can look at the GOP candidate and say to themselves, "OK, I can picture this guy as president", then I think Obama is toast. But who knows, maybe he won't be the candidate since there was some statistic related to a sitting president's approval rating that is something like any incumbent prez with an approval of 43% or lower has never won re-election. Right now, Obama is below that but March isn't over yet.
How delicious that this was pounded into the public’s head as an indisputable fact by the Democrats and their media allies to attack Bush - now it’s coming back home to roost.
Exactly. Excellent point.
Where did all the “Obama’gas’ms go? Scratches head...
“WSJ, Kristol, Krauthammer, Rove et al., STFU. Thank you.”
CLASSIC!
+1 !!

That’s why I’m pretty much taking the poll with a grain of salt. Even though I think it presents a more accurate snapshot of the American public’s mood than a typical CBS/New York Times poll where Democrat participants vastly outnumber those of Republicans, I have no doubt these left-wing biased media pollsters will release a follow-up poll in the coming months showing Obama surging and becoming the “heavy favorite” to win re-election. Still, it appears Obama’s troubles right now are too grandiose for even the lamestream media to ignore.
They have something up their sleeve, in terms of a domestic economy “October Suprise” which I feel necessarily involves the participation and conspiracy with other nations, who wish Obama and the Obama system to continue in the US in slink towards Pan-Euro Socialism. They will link arms behind doors to somehow make it happen. Depress things now to make him low in the polls, than have it catapult up to skyrocketing high levels, along with a strong anti-GOP MSM narrative non stop, a little bit of race card, and some (yes!) “white guilt” left over from 2008 recycled into 2012, plus black pride and registering the dead to vote, bussing in illegal immigrants by the truckload to vote, etc. etc. and voila! goodbye to the Country we once loved and knew.
The more desperate they are, the more dangerous they are. Wonder what they try next.
We could be energy independent in 12-15 years. Hell, we could be gouging the Red Chinese. Just stand back, Obama.
That was my thought... Apparently, 41% of the people are so disconnected from reality that, well, it is amazing they can feed and clothe themselves without daily assistance. Seriously, how could anyone approve of what hussein is doing? Unless of course you are some kind of a socialist/Marxist that hates America, hates freedom, hates liberty, personal property, free speech, justice, security etc.
I’m sure all the newspapers and network news programs will be highlighting this news...
You know, the way they always did with Bush.
More and more Americans are waking up to the fact that what they are being told every night on the Magic Sqwauking Box in the living room, and what they see happening in the real world of the Obama Schrodinger Economy, are two very different things.
Gas prices are the trigger that can’t be hidden from them, for what they already know to be true, but are afraid/unwilling to admit.
THEY GOT PLAYED IN 2008
The liberals have told us that this election is already over.
They say that Obama will sail to re-election. They say the GOP is too extreme on social issues and out of touch.
They say that the economy is turning around due to Obamanomics and Porkulus and all that.
They say this pres. has been rough and tough against terrorists, since he got Bin Laden.
They say that people love Obamacare once they learn what’s in the bill.
That last one really gets me. That darn bill was passed two years ago, and they are STILL trying to convince people how great it is, and STILL revealing bit by bit what’s in the bill...........
Well, that's easy - - just look at the Democrat party "base", starting with the urban, permanent victim class (bus riders), and descending from there to atheists, abortion enthusiasts, pinky-ring union thugs, condom-throwers, Boy Scout-hating dykes-on-bikes, hand-wringing college professors, Hollywood drunks, welfare grandmothers, and every other variety of America-hating parasites, losers, malcontents, and goofballs.
There's your 41% right there.
Ubama voters forever.
Yeah that’s pretty much the demographics on them.
{How can 41% be dumb enough to still approve?”
Easy, first you have to subtract 13% for the 100% “in the tank for O” vote for Blacks. Then you have 28%, which represents the “stupid White” vote.
41% approve POSOTUS? Find them, mock them, disparage them.
FUBO
Yup. ;-)
What is absolutely astounding is that, after all that’s happened, there are still people - any people - who continue to approve of what he’s been doing and the manner in which he’s been doing it.
But, then, one hundred is considered an “average” IQ, and that may explain a lot.

Yes they will attempt a Wag-the-Dog October-Surprise Comeback-Kid Republicans-gonna-git-yo-mama.Doesn't change the fact Hussein is an islamo-commie closet-queen crack-smoking enemy of the people.
All people have to do is get in touch with the street under their feet.

You are the most amazing graphics artist.
I’m uplifted by your comment.
Thank you.

.................................
Great point.
That’s great PhilDragoo.
How low was Bush at His lowest, if anyone knows
They are in meltdown on morning Joe. LOL.
Do you realize how much trouble the country is in if “Obama” still has 41% approval?
I agree with you in general, but I also think that to those who don't follow closely he can ‘sound’ reasonable in that he has that well-practiced ‘calm’ delivery.
Americans don't like being told what can't be done, so the attempt to give Obama cover by saying there's nothing a president can do has struck the wrong nerve. The people are beginning to feel duped. They have been duped.
This is a liberal fascist poll.... If they are reporting the Won’s approval rating at 41%, you can bet its actually 20 points lower, but among real, loyal, non treasonous Americans, his approval rating is “0”. The big Zero.
Automatically deduct ≥10% from published 'findings'
I’ve been thinking along the same lines. *sigh*
“Apparently, 41% of the people are so disconnected from reality...”
A large portion of that number are liberal single females. They want Big Government Sugar Daddy to feed them, pamper them and pay them to sit on their fat butts and watch Oprah. They are instigators and supporters of fascism and would rob you blind for a jumbo bag of potato chips.
Married females are much smarter.
Yet...
49% in today’s Rasmussen approve of Obama’s job performance.
He always seem to snap back... friggin’ amazing.
“prospect of return of stagflation” What alternate universe have you been living in sir? Stagflation is here and has been here for YEARS. I know people who have not had a raise in 8 years and the price of everything is zooming up, except chicom junk and that has gone up as well.
The dollar is worthless and becoming more so by the day. Bankers are keeping interest rates low as possible to avoid having to face bad loans. The constructive destruction that is necessary is being avoided at all cost. The stock market is a joke, propped up by printed money only. Hardly anyone is making any money on market investments and certainly not enough to equal inflation.
Stagflation is here in spades. What do you mean “prospect of stagflation”? Just because the lame stream and government have not proclaimed it... they never will with oblabla in the whitey house.
I don't care about playing gotcha when this president is openly hostile to using oil and its crucial importance to America's prosperity and security.
The libs shout about how domestic production won't bring down the price at home since oil is sold on the world market. The more stable the world supply becomes the more stable the price will become in the United States.
