Readers have to get halfway into the Associated Press report on its new AP-GFK poll to find this out, but Barack Obama’s job approval numbers have cratered in the shutdown. His overall job approval is now 37/53, and a majority want Obama to start cooperating more with Republicans, as 63% want Republicans to meet Obama part-way, too:
Americans are holding Republicans primarily responsible for the partial government shutdown as public esteem sinks for all players in the impasse, President Barack Obama among them, according to a new poll. It’s a struggle with no heroes. …
Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.
Indeed, anyone making headlines in the dispute has earned poor marks for his or her trouble, whether it’s Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, or Republican John Boehner, the House speaker, both with a favorability rating of 18 percent.
The amusing headline in this instance is “GOP gets the blame in shutdown.” However, the data shows that plenty of blame is being heaped on all sides, by all sides:

And sheeperals need to be reminded that they are NOT a good person for supporting this guy.
The AP is sticking to the Administration narrative.
Yep......but unlike Obama who only killed four Americans in Benghazi, it was revealed that BUSH was responsible for the horror, nightmare at Abu Graib, specifically someone put PANTIES on a Muslims head. Don’t you remember? It was in the news, top of the fold for months
The Germans still think John F. Kennedy was the better president for giving an inspiring speech by the Berlin Wall (built on his watch, by the way) than Ronald Reagan was for giving a speech in roughly the same location which actually led to it being torn down.
Thanks!
RE :”like Oprah diving into an Olympic pool? “
Fat floats like a life preserver but she would empty the pool if she tried that.
BWHAAAAAAAAA!!!! BWHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
What we are seeing is a falling away of the non-minority idiots that are not on welfare. The 37% are the raw numbers of racist blacks, Hispanics, and the welfare parasites. These numbers will not, I repeat, will not change. This also explains why congress has a lower rating than the Kenyan vulture.
WELL YEA!!! They’re finding out about that good deal on healthcare they’re getting!!
Actually Bo is no more radical than other black leaders in some of our cities (Detroit comes to mind) and around the world. See countries also ruled by black leaders. The criminal mindset is the problem.
Democrats ratings will eventually follow his......this is a shot across the bow for Democrats!!!
So Obama hates Ted Cruz and the pubs hate Ted Cruz.....and both are in trouble politically......we have a winner!!!
the polls need to distinguish between House and Senate. The House is working hard for the people whereas the Senate is working hard against the people. The House deserves better polling.
Mr. Cool is Dead!
Long Live the Petulant Whiney Bee-yaatch!
I think you are right. Sadly this clown and his abject failures will make it much, much harder for accomplished, qualified Black citizens seeking elected office. Particularly POTUS.
He told us he would get Obama-care defunded and that Obama would blink.
Really Looking forward to that. That will really send shock waves through Washington
Watch that governors race in VA coming in November.
Dems plan on using that race to show that they have the upper hand in this fight and that they will benefit in November 2014..
The quote from the Park Ranger saying that orders had come down to, “Make their lives as painful as possible,” tells me all I need to know about the sociopathic animal squatting in the White House.
That’s one Park Ranger who is going to end up on latrine duty at the International Peace Garden in North Dakota.
It probably started after 2010 midterms. People ignoring the Barry-cades and going on with her normal live without the government “helping” probably pushed him over the edge.
