Barry's "Approval" Heads Downhill

Finally! The liberal mental midgets are waking up! Perhaps those that voted for this clown will realize that Hillary is no different.   :thatsright:

Obama approval heads down hill

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's job approval numbers are sinking as American attitudes about the nation's progress have taken a turn for the worse, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

A majority of the public once again say things in the U.S. are going pretty badly and disapproval of Obama's job performance has climbed back above 50% as well.

Overall, 47% say things in the country are going well, 52% that they're going badly. That's a reversal from March, when 53% said things were going well, the highest share to say so during Obama's presidency. The shift comes across partisan and demographic lines, with no one group's opinions driving the overall change.

Obama's approval rating has suffered a similar blow.

While it's dropped since April, going from a near-even 48% approve to 47% disapprove split to a negative-tilting 52% disapprove to 45% approve, the rising disapproval ratings come across party lines, from both men and women, from whites and non-whites....

...Democrats split their issue priorities broadly, 19% say the economy, 18% each name health care and education, and about 1-in-8 each cite terrorism (12%) and energy and environmental policies (11%). For Republicans, a different set of issues rises to the top, 20% name the economy, 17% terrorism, 12% each the federal budget deficit and the situation in Iraq and Syria and 10% each health care and illegal immigration. Just 8% of Republicans call education the top priority.

There's also an age divide on issue priorities. Younger adults are least apt to consider the economy the top problem. Just 16% of those under age 35 say the economy is the most pressing issue, about twice as many (33%) cite education. Among those age 65 or older, however, terrorism and the economy are about equal as top threats, 21% say it's terrorism, 20% the economy. For those between ages 35 and 64, however, the economy remains tops...

...Obama's best mark on issues comes for his handling of race relations: 50% say they approve, 47% disapprove, while he tallies his worst marks on issues where his partisans are most apt to disapprove.

For example, his 63% disapproval rating on handling ISIS includes disapproval from 34% of Democrats, and on government surveillance of U.S. citizens, 67% disapprove overall including 44% of Democrats....

...Americans view the sitting president less positively than all of his predecessors. The public is split 49% favorable to 49% unfavorable on Obama, a bit worse than his 52% favorable to 46% unfavorable mark in March, but similar to other reads on his favorability in CNN/ORC polling throughout the last year....

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

I honestly don't know what kept him buoyed up this long.
I know his core constituency won't ever forsake him.
But even they know he is an empty shirt.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
