The Faux news poll skews the results.
President Obama's approval ratings are going UP despite the three controversies that are currently brewing and the negativity expressed in the polls by Rassmussen and Fox News.
The Real Clear Politics average of approval ratings shows the president with a considerably closer spread, at 48.6 approval and 47.6 disapproval. The average is dragged down by three recent polls from Rasmussen, Fox News, and The Economist/YouGov, which show him below water on favorability by 2, 6, and 5 percentage points respectively.

According to the poll, conducted from May 22-May 28 among 1,419 registered voters, 45 percent approve of Mr. Obama's job performance, and 49 percent disapprove. In a Quinnipiac poll published May 1, 48 percent of registered voters approved of the president's performance, and 45 percent disapproved.
President Barack Obama gets a negative 45 - 49 percent job approval rating, compared to 48 - 45 percent positive in a May 1 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, conducted before the IRS allegations surfaced.
The president's biggest drop is among independent voters, who give him a negative 37 - 57 percent score, compared to a negative 42 - 48 percent May 1. He gets a negative 9 - 86 percent from Republicans and a positive 87 - 8 percent from Democrats, both virtually unchanged. Women approve 49 - 45 percent while men give a negative 40 - 54 percent score.
Americans are divided 49 - 47 percent on whether Obama is honest and trustworthy, down from 58 - 37 percent, the last time Quinnipiac University asked the question September 1, 2011.
What did Obama reply when they asked when he found out about the IRS targeting Tea Party organizations?You need some sort of shred of evidence of something before you accuse someone of something.

Even that's not exactly accurate ... but, regardless, the question was when he found out the IRS was doing what it did ... he answered a question that wasn't asked.. If he was you would really have something to outrage about. He gave the correct answer, he found out about it when eveyone else did. OMG, if he had known about it before hand the RW blogosphere would have melted down by now.He affirmed he was not aware of an IG investigation

Know what... there's only one winner and that was Obama. Amerika won, and America lost. That was more than a half year ago. We're on to 2014 now and thankfully Obama has made himself a lame duck.
Those scandals didn't happen because Republicans invented them. They're not molehills either. Lying about Benghazi, running guns to mobs in Mexico, shopping a judge to spy on a journalist, using the IRS as a weapon... that's serious sheet mon.
Of course... you're a Kool Aid swilling Lib, and well... ASSUME POSITION LIBERAL!
It's your time to... dealwithit.
When you look at the numbers, good or bad, inbetween, or lop sided etc etc what seems to come through when it comes to obama is a deeply felt sense of a president that is just like you and me, everyday people. Its not an over reach in any sense of the spectrum to come to the conclusion that love is what this administration has for us and it truly wants the best for us. Comforting and supportive seems to come through the polls as well. Amazing to have a president that cares so much for us.

So did Nixon's when Watergate broke.
It's natural for the people to surround the wagons around a corrupt President in the beginning. They'll turn on him after there's no one left to throw under the bus.
But the longer they wait the more damage their will be to the Democrat Party. That will lead to at least 12 years with a Republican in the White House.
Nope, I'm pretty sure the country as a whole is still pissed about the tax cuts for the rich and two wars putting us into this recession. .
Nope, only socialist are "pissed" about the rich. Socialist never liked those people who broke a sweat and became successful.
BTW:
The recession officially ended in June of 2009. And it was liberal policies that caused the housing meltdown that led to a financial crisis with in the financial institutions. Basically it was the "Urban Redevelopment Act" and ACORN who caused the recession.
It was Obama's lack of knowledge how the free market capitalism works and spending almost a trillion dollars paying off the unions and protecting civil service union jobs instead of putting money in to the private sector to put Americans back to work why the economy hadn't fully recovered as fast as it should have. Obama was more concerned with passing Obama Care instead of the recovery of the economy.
Actually, most of the recession was caused by a company called Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems. The housing bubble and subsequent crash was crafted by them, with lots and lots of support through banking deregulation.
Are you NUTS?
The executive branch is suppose to EXECUTE the will of the people, as determined by CONGESS.
Not execute the WILL of the president. I think Obama never even READ the Constitution!
