Obama’s approval drops as Americans take a dimmer view of his economic policies

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.

No, the problem was allowing that CINO Romney to be the nominee in the first place.

How did voting for a CINO work out for you?

Thank you for reminding the forum that you were willing to sell out your principles to try to elect a CINO, instead of working to get a true conservative into office.

I see you are now trying to distract from your proven support of the man who brought us “RomneyCare”.

RomneyCare preceded ObamaCare.

I’m sure all of FR thanks you for your continued support of a CINO.
