63% of Americans Have No Confidence in Obama to Make Right Decisions

Bush's fault

He’s been on the job for FIVE years, but more than 6 of every 10 Americans (63%) have no confidence that Obama makes or can make the right decisions.

How many of that 63% had voted to reelect him in 2012?

They owe us an apology!

Truth Revolt reports, Jan. 27, 2014, that on the eve of Obama’s State of the Union Address, a new poll fromWashington Post-ABC News shows the following:

  • Fully 63% of Americans have either little to no confidence Obama will make the right decisions.
  • Nearly half of all Americans — 48% — do not see Obama as honest and trustworthy.
  • bare majority of Americans, 52%, feel Obama does not understand the problems of people like them – a shocking downward turn for Obama on an important likeability issue in which he dominated in 2012.
  • 51% believe Obama is not a strong leader.
  • 50% disapprove of Obama’s performance as president, with 41% disapproving strongly.
  • Only 23% support him strongly.
  • 50% of Americans have an unfavorable impression of Obama.

For perhaps the first time, Obama’s personal popularity seems to be suffering from his inability to govern effectively. His personal popularity is dropping – a shocking development for a president who has largely relied on that popularity to push forward policy.
