CNN Poll: President gets no bounce from speech, but disapproval rating peaks mug.cnnpolitics By: CNN Political Unit
Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama didn't score any political points with his speech on jobs to a joint session of Congress last Thursday. According to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday, the president's approval rating stands at 43 percent, virtually unchanged from the 45 percent approval rating in the previous CNN poll.
Although this is not the lowest number of those who say they approve of how Obama is handling his job-he reached 42 percent one year ago-the number who disapprove of the president reached its highest during his presidency in the poll.
The survey reveals that 55 percent say they do not approve of how Obama is handling his duties in the White House and the number of Americans who think he is a strong leader has dropped to a new low.
"A familiar pattern in public opinion on Obama again asserts itself," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Americans don't like Obama's track record on major issues while they continue to like him personally."

Obama speaks, Market tanks, Approval rating sinks.
I’m seeing a pattern here.
Toxic Baraq Syndrome.
Infecting Democrat office holders nationwide.
Expected to reach a peak in Nov 2012.
I’m waiting for the January 18 number.
Even better will be the Febuary 23 number.
Next summers polls should be even more interesting....
I am sure BO would have gotten a bounce if he had said “pass this bill right away” just a few more times. /s
There is little evidence of this, and it is unlikely to be true.
I personally find Obama to be an arrogant, smug, nasty mean SOB. There is nothing at all likeable about him.
1/20/2013 can't come soon enough!
At this point in time, it’s quite literally true that NO ONE approves of Obama but those busily sucking away at the government teat and mental defectives.
But I repeat myself.
Believe it. There are millions of Americans with canteloupe for brains who think it is not nice to dislike people. So they don't. Even when the person in question is enslaving their own children.
Sick, but that is America c. 2011. Deal with it.
“I personally find Obama to be an arrogant, smug, nasty mean SOB. There is nothing at all likeable about him.”
...and he is ugly.
“Pass my #ing, g-damn bill, NOW!!!”
So he's probably in really, really deep doodoo with people who are actually going to go out and vote in November 2012.
I thought I was watching Veruca Salt from Willie Wonka: "I want the bill passed now, daddy"
It’s hard to get a fresh bounce from the same speech you gave a year ago.
Not even a dead rat bounce? I’m disappointed.
But we still need to work hard to ensure Obozo is kicked out and kicked out hard. Let’s not rest until it’s over and the winner is declared.
