Public approval of Obama's foreign policy plummets
By: Byron York

For much of the summer, as approval ratings for President Obama's handling of the economy, health care, the deficit, and other domestic issues declined, the one bright spot in the president's polling was his handling of foreign affairs.
No longer. The new CNN/Opinion Research poll, released Tuesday afternoon, shows a sharp decline in the public's approval of Obama's handling of a number of international issues.
In March, according to CNN, 67 percent of those surveyed approved of Obama's handling of the situation in Afghanistan. Now, that number is 49 percent -- an 18 percentage-point drop. The number of those who disapprove of Obama's Afghanistan policy has grown from 29 percent to 46 percent.
In March, 61 percent approved of Obama's handling of terrorism. Now, it's 52 percent -- a nine point drop. The number of people who disapprove has gone from 35 percent to 45 percent.
In March, 66 percent approved of Obama's handling of foreign affairs in general. Now, it's 54 percent -- a 12 point drop. The number of people who disapprove has gone from 28 percent to 42 percent.
Couple those results with Obama's already-anemic numbers on domestic policy issues -- in the CNN poll, he is below 50 percent approval on the economy, health care, taxes, the deficit, and Medicare -- and this has been a summer of extraordinary decline for a president whose overall approval rating once hovered near 70 percent.

That is going by the link to the poll you provided by CNN.
Question number 1 ask's ''Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as President''

George W Bush was the worst President in history, and he also had the highest disapproval rating of any president. Of course the right-wing posters on here never let the facts get in the way of their rants.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/01/bush.poll/
"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.
http://abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/Politics/story?id=6017487&page=1
At 23 percent, Bush's job approval rating has fallen below Nixon's lowest; it's a point away from the lowest in 70 years of polling, set by Harry Truman in early 1952. Bush's disapproval, meanwhile, is at an all-time record ? 73 percent

Brutal: Obama?s approval among independents down to ? 34/51
posted at 7:30 pm on November 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
<small> Share on Facebook | printer-friendly </small>
His overall approval rating?s pretty grim too ? 46/46, down five points since last month ? but I?m highlighting the indies because (a) this is the same Fox News poll with the suspicious Republican sample that I cited earlier, and (b) a -17 among the group that?s going to decide the midterms is eye-popping, especially when you compare it to last month. In October, among indies, he was at 49/34. This month, a 15-point swing. What happened?
Lest you think this is an outrageous outlier, please note that Rasmussen has him at 46/53 today among likely voters.Does any of this matter right now? Yep: According to Nate Silver, a statistical analysis shows that Obama?s personal popularity within a senator?s state, not the popularity of ObamaCare itself, is a strong indicator of whether he/she is likely to support health-care reform. The lower The One goes, the grimmer Reid?s and Pelosi?s prospects get. (In fact, Fox?s poll shows that there?s been virtually no bounce from PelosiCare?s passage in the House.) In fact, ObamaCare itself is now so unpopular that Obama?s ratings, flaccid though they are, are actually helping to boost support for the bill. See, for example, Gallup?s poll today showing cresting support for the status quo in American health care as the backlash to O-Care rises, a result Gallup itself can?t resist lamely trying to spin. He and Reid are doing their best to buy Blue Dogs off, but I wonder what happens if his numbers dip a few points more. Some centrist Dems are already in dire straits.
Oh, and as for that 23 percent who think he?s a weaker leader than they expected, try re-polling that next month after stories like this about his dismal trip to Asia have had some time to sink in. Exit quotation from David Gergen: ?[T]his was not at all the kind of summit that an American administration would want ? and it does bear some ominous similarities to the Kennedy-Khrushchev talks in Vienna. It would seem wise not only for President Obama but for all Americans to treat this as a wake-up call.?

Re: Obama's Approval Ratings TANKING!
Munchkin for someone who uses logic all the time I think you are failing there yourself.I have always voted GOP up until 2005 and then I switched to the Libertarian party because the GOP had become just like the Dems.Spending and big government are the things I hate the most.What you think as me defending Obama is me pointing out the lies and B.S that Fox and the rest of the right wing fools put out there.If you are telling the truth then you have nothing to hide but sadly that is not the way it is and I hate that more than the other B.S.I have no problem with the message that Sarah puts out there if it is the truth ,it is the messagener I cannot stand because I know she is a fraud and quitter that is only in it for herself[like most politicians]and she is destroying the only chance we have to gain control in 2012.What I know of her she never tells the truth and will be easy to beat if she is the canidate .

Rasmussen: Obama drops to lowest approval rating
posted at 11:36 am on November 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
<small>Share on Facebook | printer-friendly </small>
Give Rasmussen a lot of credit thus far in the Obama Era. They predicted his decline first, have documented his rallies, and now report on the nadir of his standing among registered voters. In their daily tracking poll, Barack Obama dropped to a 45% approval rating, tying the lowest mark of his term thus far, and hit a new record on their ?passion index?:And, as always, independents are the key:A 45/54 split in the first year in office isn?t exactly the ?hope and change? Obama had in mind. The intensity of his opposition has long eclipsed the intensity of his support, but the number among independents should be alarming for Capitol Hill Democrats facing the voters in 2010. A solid majority of independents now strongly disapprove of Obama, and only a sixth of them strongly approve. Democrats know what that means for a midterm that will serve as a referendum on the President and their legislative agenda.
Byron York looks at the internals from Gallup?s tracking polls, where Obama is also under 50% among adults:There?s more at the link, but basically Obama?s collapse is broad based and almost complete. He only polls favorably among the youngest adults (18-29), the lowest income levels, the non-religious, and non-white adults.
It?s basically a portrait of the hard Left, which is exactly what his agenda represents, and the only political core he?s got. And if he sends more troops to Afghanistan, even some of these numbers may start to fall.

Rasmussen: Obama drops to lowest approval rating

Give Rasmussen a lot of credit thus far in the Obama Era. They predicted his decline first, have documented his rallies, and now report on the nadir of his standing among registered voters. In their daily tracking poll, Barack Obama dropped to a 45% approval rating, tying the lowest mark of his term thus far, and hit a new record on their ?passion index?:

Re: Obama's Approval Ratings TANKING!
The best option would be for Obama not to run, which he recently brought up as a possibility (although an unlikely one). It's important to keep the Republicans out, but Obama is useless and incompetent.
And I never got all of the hype about Obama speaking so well - he says "you know" as much as Caroline Kennedy

But when it comes to the 2012 race, Obama didn't discount the possibility he may sit out on a reelection bid.
"You know, if - if I feel like I've made the very best decisions for the American people and three years from now I look at it and, you know, my poll numbers are in the tank and because we've gone through these wrenching changes, you know, politically, I'm in a tough spot, I'll - I'll feel all right about myself," Obama told CNN's Ed Henry during an interview in China.

"I said to myself very early on, even when I started running for office, I don't want to be making decisions based on getting reelected, because I think the challenges that America faces right now are so significant," the president also said. "Obviously, if I make those decisions and I think that I'm moving the country on the right direction economically, in terms of our security interests, our foreign policy, I'd like to think that those policies are continued because they're not going to bear fruit just in four years."

Re: Obama's Approval Ratings TANKING!
Even the lemmings here have gone silent on Obama's freefall. The chimp is nothing but a propped up figure, with no substance, no accomplishments, no record.
Obama received just under 53% of the vote. He needs the Independent voters if he is to get re-elected.
