The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll reveals that following the San Bernardino terrorist attack, 70 percent of Americans now believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction and only 43 percent approve of Barack Obama’s job performance as president.

About 71 percent of Americans say that the “shootings and random acts of violence that took place this year in Charleston, S.C., Oregon , Colorado, and the terrorist shootings in San Bernardino, California — are now are now a permanent part of American life.”

Domestic terrorism and national security have more than doubled this year and now are the top issue for 40 percent of Americans. The next nearest categories are job creation and economic growth at 23 percent and the deficit and government spending at 11 percent.

President Obama told global leaders at the opening of the Paris climate change conference, just after the San Bernardino attack, that dealing with climate change was a “rejection” of what terrorists seek to do to the world. But only 7 percent of Americans rate climate change as their number one priority.

It's probably well into the 30s, but NBC would never admit that.

[I want the USA back]

That it is 43% proves that almost half the country has its collective head up its collective anal exit passageway.

[Rockitz]

You got it!

[Kozak]

43% are idiots.

[redfreedom]

I just can’t believe his this guy’s approval rating is that high. Only the die hard lefties approve of this jerk.

However, when Trump’s approval rating exceeds obama’s, much can be read into it. Won’t be long before that happens.

[albie]

So terror toppled climate change huh? Who’d a thunk?

[Rockitz]

Lefties are never wrong even when they are. Now let’s change the subject.... ;o)

[Lazamataz]

Pres Approval ratings are often much higher than one would expect. Bushes lowest rating ever was 38%.

Hot lead trumps hot air every time.

[rktman]

Of course it’s probably behind fixing the weather to save the erf and banning all guns to save the chirrun.

[cardinal4]

Wait, so climate change isn’t the number one issue?

[sourcery]

That it is 43% proves that almost half the country has its collectivist head up its collectivist anal exit passageway.

Fixed it for you.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Reverse Wilder Effect. Many won’t tell a pollster they dislike Obama for fear of being thought a racist.

[Rockitz]

Who'd a thunk?

[beethovenfan]

If we had more intelligent people in this country, his approval would be close to zero.

[Rockitz]

<>Pres Approval ratings are often much higher than one would expect. Bushes lowest rating ever was 38%.

Maybe so. "He's a bastard, but he's OUR bastard" thinking.

“70 percent of Americans now believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction”

Blacks rioting, shooting riots, credit downgraded twice, harassment from the WH to the police forces across the country, deficit tripled, no plan to take care of terrorists, public fear at an all time high...

what is taking these people so long to get it?!!!

[wattsgnu]

What percentage of the population is getting govt. assistance? Probably the same, or close. All voting to stay on the gravy train.

[TTFlyer]

26% of the population is hardcore Liberal-Leftist. 17% have IQ’s that match their age. Once this combined number exceeds 50% it will all be over but the shouting.

[Baynative]

That’s the story. The fact that he still has that much support is nothing short of a miracle. At the same time it give an insight into how a person like Hillary Clinton, one who can’t even get a security clearance, could be considered for president.
