It has been a rough week for President Barack Obama.
The prospect of the United States being dragged back into Iraq, a war the president thought he had ended, has spurred criticism on both sides and presents yet another foreign-policy complication that threatens his presidency.
Foreign hotspots – from Iraq to Syria to Ukraine — have tested Mr. Obama and taken a toll on his standing. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.pdf) this week found him with the lowest foreign policy approval of his presidency — just 37 percent. His approval is down from 52 percent in Dec. 2012 right after he was re-elected.
The president finds himself in a difficult spot. He’ll get blamed for problems around the world, even ones with no tidy solutions. But there’s little indication war-weary Americans want the U.S., and specifically American troops, to do much about them.
But even bigger than just foreign policy, the NBC/WSJ poll also found Obama’s presidency on the edge–if not worse.

Unless he resigns, at some not-so-distant-point in the future, he could very well drag the whole Democratic party down with him.
Not that’s a bad thing or anything.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say “No”.
{Unfortunately]Unless he resigns, at some not-so-distant-point in the future, he could very well drag the whole Democratic party [and the nation] down with him.
Has the Death Knell Sounded for the Obama Presidency?
_________________________________________________
Let me answer that question with several more.
Has Obama assumed room temperature? Is he behind bars? Is he a deposed fugitive hiding out in a third world hellhole?
Well then. There’s your answer
The Dems Re in a tough spot. Impeach and remove, your party is toast and there will be race wars. Do nothing and your party is toast for the next 50 years.
The last sentence in the article says it all:
“What we’re left with is two unpopular entities — Obama and Congress — somewhat offsetting each other, leading to a national environment…in which neither party has that great of an edge.”
A truly sad commentary on our political system, And according to “the polls,” the RATS enjoy a 7% better rating than the RINOS in Congress. And we are seeing the mistrust of the GOP in the fact that their candidates get no traction with the voters.
The man never was the greater of two evils (for all you idiot "lesser of two evils" shills), he's something we've not seen before in this country. A genuine scorched earth destroyer.
Yes, but he'll also accelerate dragging down The Country too.
Did Bokassa just have a muffin with Imperial margarine?
Heavily populated areas tend to be Democratic. If a Democrat District has 70% approval for Obama so what? In Congressional races the only votes that count are the votes within the specific district.
Besides which, the real fight this year is in the Senate and there are more than a handful of Senate Democrats running in States that Mitt Romney WON!
Congressional unpopularity is an ADVANTAGE for Republicans.
Besides which, it is the job of Congress to fight and argue, and many panty-waste idiots dislike fighting and arguing.
When to becomes obvious he is taking the party down then and only then will impeachment have any chance of happening
Preferred the blood of his subjects. Just like Obama, he was a vampiric cancer
Why do they keep writing these articles? He doesn’t care about public opinion. He doesn’t care about anything other than his agenda. He’s happy with the progress on that.
I’m sure they guy is on the golf course thinking, “Man, I thought I’d have had WAY more pushback on this stuff. . . .”
I can imagine a scenario where he goes on tv and publicly resigns, blaming Republican intransigence and white guys, before any movement to impeach him goes full steam.
Besides, impeaching means nothing unless he is also voted to being removed from office. All it means is that he can’t run ever again.
Bill Clinton seems to be doing well, despite having been impeached.
Not only will Obama have to be in a wooden suit but it’s going to take a century to get rid of every little thug tyrant he installed in every single government bureaucracy and new agency he created. We also haven’t felt the real impact of the massive amount of debt they racked up. And lets not forget having to rebuild the medical care industry that he destroyed. Just because he won’t be president or even alive doesn’t mean his reign will end.
