More than half of the voters surveyed (58%) disapprove of Obama's handling of illegal immigration, followed by 56% who disapprove of his handling of the economy, 51% of his handling of the Gulf Oil Spill, and 46% of his foreign policy.
Of the almost 2200 voters surveyed, 44% still approve of Obama's performance, although this approval fell 4% in the last two months and 13% in the last year. The 38% of Independents who still approve of Obama are nearly offset by the 37% of Independents who plan to vote for a Republican. Only 12% of voters value Obama's opinion of other Democrats enough to be more likely to vote for someone he supports.
Nevertheless, Obama is still more popular than Congress. Six in ten (59%) disapprove of both Congressional Democrats and Congressional Republicans, but more voters would chose to vote for a Republican for Congress (43%) than a Democrat (38%).

ReplyDeleteThis is a good sign. Hopefully, we can start to restore some decorum and sanity to congress with the November elections and continue that with booting Obama out of office in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI will be surprised if he gets his party nomination in 2012. The current policies are only going to make the economy worse.
ReplyDeleteYes, I voted for Scott Brown and look what it got us.
ReplyDeleteMy next door neighbor is a sixties hippie who remains a radical progressive. We talked this afternoon for a couple of hours about a variety of subjects. He could not say Obama's name without making a face like he'd just tasted something noxious. So doubt and questioning has entered the subconscious of The Great One's base.
