President Barack Obamas approval rating has declined to an all-time low as public frustration with Washington and pessimism about the nations direction continue to grow, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Just 42 percent approve of the presidents job performance, which is down five points from earlier this month. By comparison, 51 percent disapprove of his job in office -- tied for his all-time high.
The NBC/WSJ pollsters argue that no single reason explains Obamas lower poll standing. Rather, they attribute it to the accumulation of setbacks since the summer -- allegations of spying by the National Security Agency, the debate over Syrias chemical weapons, the government shutdown and now intense scrutiny over the problems associated with the health care laws federal website and its overall implementation.

Those events have combined to erase some of the advantage the president gained with polls showing most Americans blame congressional Republicans for the shutdown.
And for the first time in the survey, even Obamas personal ratings are upside-down, with 41 percent viewing him a favorable light and 45 percent viewing him negatively.

> 11% Say Communism Better Than U.S. System of Politics and Economics
Question to the 11%: how many of you have actually lived under Communismi? Answer - None. Next question.
I have yet to to have met anyone that said they enjoyed living under Communism. This gal’s position is pretty clear:

This sorry bas”terd” lied to get elected. His election is illegitimate!! He is not the rightful holder of this sacred office. Impeach him now for lies on obamacare and Benghazi. Get the hell out of our White house you lying bas “terd”
She needs a cast for her head, too.
41 or 4.1%?
Typical liberal zombie. She looks zoned out and sadly there are tens of millions of Americans who think just like her.
My initial thought as well. How on earth could 41% still love the POS?
13% of the population is black.
15% of the population is liberal moonbats
13% of the population is ridden with white guilt.
49% to 54%, (depending on who’s numbers you use), are on government welfare of one sort or another. In other words for them the Gravy train is fine with them.
After reading your well thought out list of Obama suckups, aka supporters, I’m surprised his % of support isn’t higher.
Your list is very accurate and grows each day. I would edit your #12 to: All Homosexual Activists.
1) Union thugs, ticks, and pawns
2) Black racists and people who thought it would be cool to have a non-white President
3) Wealthy campaign contributors and other opportunists who get big rebates in terms of federal grants, contracts, loans, and special favors
4) Naïve youth
5) Communists, Marxists, Islamofascists, and anyone else who hates America or capitalism
6) Guilty white liberals
7) Academics who benefit from federal grants and increased federal support for student loans
8) The entitled class
9) Legal Hispanic voters who want amnesty for their kin and friends who are here (or would come here) illegally
10) People who work in professions or live in communities where intolerance and discrimination by Democrats is overwhelming, severe, and totalitarian
11) Government workers who lack integrity
12) Some homosexual activists
13) The very elite and arrogant
14) People who are pro-abortion
15) Single women who have a fantasy romance with Obama and the federal government, falsely assuming they will help them in time of need
16) 64% of High school dropouts
17) Dead people and people committing vote fraud
18) People who just dont care about the country
19) 69% of Jews
Forty-seven percent get a check from him and/or don't pay a penny of federal income tax.
The five or six percent difference are those who are pissed at him for not giving them even more.
As a retiree, I guess I get a check from him. 56% of people like me voted against him in 2012. I say against him because myself and others didn’t think much of Romney but he was much better than Obama.
Nope, I understand that.
I don’t bear any grievance toward people like yourself.
Our big problem is those who pay no taxes and have no skin in the game. I have friends who have a good deal more disposable income that I do-—one with two homes in Montana and a third in Arizona-—who write off everything in their personal-service occupations, pay no federal tax and worship the ground Obama walks on.
Plus they think anyone who disagrees with him is a bigot...there are so many of them out there...virtually all of whom I try to steer clear of...we will have to have a crash to clear the slate, or we are all doomed to boil slowly to death.
