President Obama’s job approval rating is inexorably sinking, resting today at 45 percent – tied for the lowest level of the his second term, according to Gallup.
The president’s approval during the first half of the year had generally been at about 50 percent. But since the end of June, Obama’s numbers have been hovering in the range of 45-47 percent. Obama’s rating is declining even as the economy is slowly starting to improve and employment is picking up.
Meantime, his dwindling popularity is occurring as Obamacare unravels and its effects become clearer, including the postponement of mandates and the moves by business to hire part-timers. [Source]
