Two months ago, independents tilted clearly in his direction, with 54 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving. Now, half of independents express a negative opinion of the president’s performance; just 44 percent approve.
The president has also seen an erosion in confidence among groups that he has counted as core supporters. Compared with a Post-ABC poll in December, the share of liberals who place their faith in Obama over Republicans when it comes to dealing with the economy is 14 points lower; there has been a 12-point slide among women.
At 50 percent, Obama’s overall standing in the poll is lower than that of most other modern second-term presidents at this point in their terms. Of the seven second-term presidents who have been in office since Harry S. Truman, only George W. Bush had a positive rating as low as 50 percent at this stage.

Imagine Idi Obama’s ratings if we had an honest or even right -leaning press?
This is the WaPo top of the front page story and it is pointedly harsh on the Bamster! Isn’t WaPo happy that the stock market is up? Or do they recognize that it is a house of cards?
We have a one year window left with Cruz and Co.
We are screwed if we don’t get these midterms.
We could be screwed if we do.
The Tea party went missing after 2010.
By the time the libs and the lame wake up it will be 2014 and it will be to late.
All Obama’s laws will be in full effect.
The worm turns
Well tough cheese for the idiot voters of this country. You voted the guy in. It was plain for all to see what a disaster this guy is for the country.
I think the Tea Party went missing because of the da*n media, the da*n GOPe and the da*n dems.
I know our group, and others, have diminished. And I blame that mainly on the media and the GOPe..not the dems.
Will we we regroup by 2014? We can only hope.
Actually, The Won never lied. He always said what he wanted to do.
People just don’t get it. Or if they do...it’s ok with them.
The dems will have the white house for the next 30 year.
The fat lady has sung and ObamaCare was the music!
They’re still PO’d at being frozen out of the Obama/Woods halfrican nirvana.
“The fat lady has sung and ObamaCare was the music!”
I think you are right. I hope you are not
He ran on revenge against the rich.
Now people see the cost of living
and just everything going up and up.
Yeah, Obama people are really simple minded.
They think he’s magic.
It mattered on election day.
Falling poll numbers mean absolutely nothing now.
President Odoomngloom could rape and strangle the Golden Goose at the podium and he will still get a statue at the Mall taller than the Washington Monument
Meanwhile the Titanic full of stupid American voters continues to steam full ahead towards the iceberg. But don’t fret too much, the republicans will just run another squishy, ball-less liberal RINO in ‘16.
I read this poll as 3% of the 47% parasites got their take home pay reduced in 2013. The Social Security tax went up along with health care costs due to LoserCare. The “rich” were supposed to pay for it all. Those polled love the free stuff as long as someone else pays. The parasites are still parasites.
I agree except that I don’t think it’s a year. IMO, the House has just a few months to get it together or they have missed their window of opportunity.
