WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's national standing has slipped to a new low after his victory on the historic health care overhaul, even in the face of growing signs of economic revival, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.
The survey shows the political terrain growing rockier for Obama and congressional Democrats heading into midterm elections, boosting Republican hopes for a return to power this fall.
Just 49 percent of people now approve of the job Obama's doing overall, and less than that — 44 percent — like the way he's handled health care and the economy. Last September, Obama hit a low of 50 percent in job approval before ticking a bit higher. His high-water mark as president was 67 percent in February of last year, just after he took office.
The news is worse for other Democrats. ..

a nice long piece from Liz and the AP
49% still have some degree of approval of this marxist?
My god, if he passed out free lollipops he could get back up to 60% approval by idiots in this country happy to live under a benevolent dictator for free candy.
Right at this moment, 0bama is pressing as hard as humanly possible to enact his Socialist goal for America because he knows is come down to a race for time.
All MUST be finished by November, after that it will not be possible by legal means.
Do not fool yourself by thinking he is the least bit persuaded by any “poll”.
If you ask me, this is his payback to America for slavery.
as the paycheck stub
Net amount goes down
so shall Obama’s reign.
could be.. look at the circle of folk he hung with..
I’ve got a payback in mind for him and it involves prison. He is the worst POTUS ever and he should be impeached and imprisoned.
I suppose all of us “not average” Americans who are seeing tax INCREASES need to stand up and be counted.
This puff piece about “bigger refunds” sounds like a crap sandwich to me. With no tomato.
More importantly is that all of the sudden the MSM is floating poll after poll after poll saying that the Bumster is sinking. Has anyone moticed? There are polls all over the place one after the other after the other saying that Bam is dropping. Wonder why. why are they highlighting the drops now when just a few weeks ago they were not?
47% of Americans pay nothing in taxes.
When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.

That's because they assume he will rise again to 50%+ and they can then proclaim him "The Comeback Kid" right before the 2012 elections.
And it could get worse for Democrats: One-third of those surveyed consider themselves tea party supporters, and three-quarters of those people are overwhelmingly Republicans or right-leaning independents. That means they are more likely to vote with the GOP in this fall's midterms, when energized base voters will be crucial amid the typical low turnout of a non-presidential election year”
BUH BYE Speaker Pelosi.
I just can't help but laugh at what must be disbelief on the part of the AP.
Obama was trained to hate America. To him, a true believing Marxist, America is a false promise even though ironically, it made him president. It's part of the reason he's cracking up, no doubt.
They are covering their butts for the upcoming slaughtering that the Democrats are going to take in November.
If you notice, throughout last year, the MSM kept pushing these fraudulent polls that had 0bozo polling well over 50%. Now when the Democrats get crushed in November(and they will), the MSM would be left in a very untenable situation, if all their polls had 0bama polling very high, prior to the Democrats getting clobbered. I pretty much predicted last year, that the MSM’s polls will get closer to reality as the elections approached. And they have.
Agreed.
Exactly. In other words, the people are too ignorant to know that they should like him because the economy is humming.
Sample was of all adults, (including illegals, people who never vote, moochers, etc). Such a sample is typically biased to the left.
Stick with Ras, he's the real deal.
Obummer is in the low 40s.
