Two years into President Barack Obama's second term, more voters say they are dissatisfied with his administration's handling of everything from the economy to foreign policy, giving him the worst marks of any modern U.S. president, a poll on Wednesday said.

In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found.

Voters were split over which of the two most recent presidents has done a better job with 39 percent saying Obama has been a better president than Bush and, 40 percent saying Obama is worse.

While Obama's job approval rating has inched higher to 40 percent, up from 38 percent in December, more voters gave him largely negative marks in key areas: the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and terrorism, according to the poll.....snip~

U.S. poll: more voters see Obama as worst president in modern times
 
Whoa.....now that is a slap in BO's face. Even buyers remorse. Now People even think Romney would have been better than BO.

Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

Richard Nixon, whose presidency ended in scandal, received only 13% of the vote and Jimmy Carter scored 8%. None of the remaining eight presidents received more than 3%.

Asked about the 2012 presidential race, 45% of respondents said the country would be better off if the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, had won. Slightly less — 38% — said the country would be worse off under a President Romney.....snip~

Some quick thoughts upon looking more closely at the poll:

1. Respondents see the economy/jobs (35%)--specifically unemployment/jobs (15%) and economy general (14%)--as the most important challenge facing the nation today.
2. Respondents generally believe the economy is not so good or poor (77% all; 78% independents). In the five most recent polls, the figure for not so good or poor has ranged from 74% to 80%.
3. Respondents also believe that the economy is the same or worsening (74% all; 78% indpendents and even 52% Democrats). In the five most recent polls, the figure for same or worsening has ranged from 70% to 74%. The current poll has the worst figure.

Overall, given the importance respondents placed on the economy/jobs, their assessment of President Obama's performance (40% approval rating) and ranking (33% worst President since WW II vs. 8% best President since WW II) reflects the gap between their expectations for the economy and its direction and their perceptions about the actual state and direction of the economy. Compared to the economy/jobs, health care issues and foreign policy issues were ranked low (6% of respondents ranked each as the most important problem facing the nation).

Beyond the issue of how the public views Presidents since WW II, the poll may offer insight into the 2014 elections, namely that the public's perceptions concerning the state of the economy and its direction could be the biggest factor in shaping the outcome. Loudly-touted issues ranging from war to undocumented immigrants to health care could play a much smaller role. 1% cited taxes as the most important issue (perhaps a blow to GOP candidates). At the same time, 1% saw class inequality and 1% poverty/homeless as the most important problems (perhaps a blow to Democratic candidates).

Yeah DS and I see Pero dropped another I had. Here is the Wire's Headline.


Obama's Terrible Approval Numbers Are Terrible......

Let's address the headlines first. In the Quinnipiac poll, Obama finds himself among a handful of post-war presidents who garner polarizing reactions from voters. Those presidents, roughly, are Kennedy, Reagan, and the three most recent: Obama, Clinton, and George W. Bush. When asked to choose the best post-war president, for instance, Ronald Reagan snagged 35 percent of voters. But 18 percent thought it was Kennedy. Clinton took 18 percent of voters, and 8 percent think it's Obama, putting him in fourth place. (George W. Bush, for what it's worth, had just 1 percent of voters on this question).

If you look at the political breakdown by party of who is saying Obama is the worst, it falls strongly along party lines, with a little bit of help from independents: 63 percent of Republicans chose Obama, while 54 percent of Democrats said George W. Bush. Independents voted "for" both: 23 percent said George W. Bush was the worst, while 36 percent chose Obama. On a similar question directly comparing Bush and Obama, the expected partisan divide is even stronger:

So the core group of voters strongly opposed to everything Obama does think he's a bad president, and the people who voted for him have a more positive opinion of the job he's doing. That's not a surprise.

Which brings us to the number that's arguably the actual worst thing in the poll for Obama: "*American voters say 54 - 44 percent that the Obama Administration is not competent running the government." Politico's Mike Allen agreed, flagging that number as of most concern to the White House this morning*. This is the second recent poll to give the president or his administration a bad rating on a "competency" question: an earlier NBC/WSJ poll found that just half of Americans believe Obama is a competent leader of the federal government.....snip~

Btw DS, here was the other from the Fiscal Times citing the WSJ from last Week. It just continues to get worse for him.....doesn't it?


Devastating New Poll Shows Americans Believe Obama Can No Longer Lead the Country.....

President Obama could momentarily crow on Tuesday that Special Forces had captured a leading suspect in the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. But the glow didn’t last for long.

With seemingly relentless bad news from overseas washing over the president and his administration, Obama’s approval rating just hit the skids even more – with a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showing that only 41 percent of those interviewed approve of Obama’s performance as president.

That approval rating matched a previous all-time low for the president in the news organizations’ polling. More troubling than that, at a time of heightened alarm about the chaotic and collapsing situations in the Middle East, Obama’s approval rating on foreign policy plummeted to a new all-time low of 37 percent.....snip~

I don't think he will get to use them that long.....already he has increased the Risk of harm on ALL Americans overseas. Plus ISIS would just luv to capture some US Personnel knowing BO will negotiate with them.

Lets not forget the New Caliph doesn't Bow to any Kings or those who think they may be one.
