More Americans now disapprove of President Barack Obama than approve of him as high unemployment and government spending scare voters ahead of November's congressional elections, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.
In the latest grim news for Obama's Democrats, 72 percent of people said they were very worried about joblessness and 67 percent were very concerned about government spending.
....
Obama's disapproval rating was 52 percent in Tuesday's poll, overtaking his approval rating for the first time in an Ipsos poll. Only 45 percent of people said they approved of the president's performance, down from 48 percent last month.
That number, coupled with a hearty 62 percent who think the country is going in the wrong direction, could spell trouble for Democrats, who control both chambers of Congress and the White House.

This is an Ipsos poll? And he’s doing that badly? No wonder the Dems are running from him.

Only 45 percent of people said they approved of the president's performance
But this part still scares me...forty-five percent of Americans are stupid.

If I understand it correctly, the chart in the lower right indicates that over 75% of all respondents are worried about ALL 8 issues.
As they should be, with this mollycoddled marxist manchild at the wheel. So how does he eke out a 45% approval?

41% voted for Carter for a second term. So we a low 40s idiocy rate in the US.
