President Obama is ending his fifth year in office matching the worst public approval ratings of his presidency, with record numbers of Americans saying they disapprove of his job performance and his once-hefty advantages over Republicans in Congress eroded in many areas, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
His position is all the more striking when compared with his standing a year ago, as he was preparing for his second inauguration after a solid reelection victory. That high note proved fleeting as the president faced a series of setbacks, culminating in the botched rollout of his Affordable Care Act two months ago.
Approval rates of both parties in Congress remain worse than Obama’s. Still, it is the president who has suffered the most damage from his administration’s self-inflicted wounds and a year of partisan conflict that included a partial shutdown of the government.
Obama’s standing is of particular concern to congressional Democrats as they look to next year’s midterm elections. Parties that control the White House suffer — sometimes significantly — in midterm campaigns when the president’s approval rating is below 50 percent.

I thought he barely squeaked by though massive vote fraud
Woman, Minority hardest hit.
The Washington Post has an odd concept of the term ‘suffering’. To me, the ones who are suffering most are the American people and have been so for the last five years.
KEEP ON KEEPING ON. . . .
America suffers while OBAMA rejoices at his HOPE & CHANGE
Bullshi(r)t. He’s suffering so much he’s going to Hawaii for 17 days.
Note to the article’s author. Turmoil is not a synonym for raging incompetence.
Where have I heard this before? The Dear Leader has suffered much for our sake! We do not deserve him!
Pravda is the Marxists’ biggest asset.
Pray America is Waking
The bastard can;t suffer enough but the REAL villains are the idiots who elected this creep - TWICE.
Last year he used a V22 Osprey to fly his dog to Martha's Vinyard. Hawaii is farther away. So, this year I'm thinking he'll recommission an SR71 for the job.
Should we send condolences? /s
Awwwwwwww. How terrible.
Maybe he could just lie to himself and tell himself he’s the greatest, and humblest.
He’s pretty good at that lying thing, what with all that Middle East turmoil over an Internet movie and people keeping their current insurance and doctor.
Sad truth Obomba’s is the face of his voters.
That’s cute — Bullshi(r)t — with a silent r.
Eventually he will suffer for eternity.
Well the poll is idiotic! Productive Americans, business, the Constitution, and freedom suffer grievously for Obama's created year of turmoil. In the meantime, he's a happy pig feeding at the public trough!
That old “some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time...but not all of the people all of the time” quote comes to mind.
I STRONGLY beg to differ:
AMERICA suffers most from year of turmoil, CAUSED BY THE TREASON AND INCOMPETENCE OF A COMMIE KENYAN USURPER!
