Obama's Current Approval Rating Is The Ugliest Since Nixon

President Barack Obama is ending his fifth year in office with the lowest approval ratings at this point in the presidency since President Richard Nixon, according to a new Washington Post/ABC poll released Tuesday.

Obama's approval rating in the poll stands at 43%. By comparison, President George W. Bush had a 47% approval rating at the end of the fifth year of his presidency. And all other Post-World War II presidents had approval ratings above 50% — with the exception of Nixon, who, amid the Watergate scandal, had a dreadful 29% approval rating.

The brutal numbers underscore what has been something of a lost year for the President. His approval ratings have been plunging recently as a result of the botched implementation of the Affordable Care Act. In the Washington Post/ABC poll, only 34% approve of how Obama is handling his signature health law's implementation.

Obama has also been hit by the damage of Washington's recent fiscal battles, including the 16-day federal government shutdown. His administration also experienced a number of setbacks throughout the year — the controversy over some of the National Security Agency's surveillance practices, the debate over military intervention in Syria, the controversy over the IRS' targeting of certain organizations for more scrutiny, and more.

Earlier this month, Obama's average approval rating, according to Real Clear Politics, slipped below 40% for the first time in his presidency.

Some of the key findings of the WaPo/ABC poll:

43% of respondents approve of Obama, compared with 55% who disapprove;
42% approve of how he's handling the economy; 55% disapprove;
34% approve of how congressional Democrats are handling their jobs; 64% disapprove;
24% approve of how congressional Republicans are doing their jobs; 73% disapprove;
On the question of who respondents "trust" to do a better job with the nation's problems, 41% say Obama, and 41% say congressional Republicans;
45% trust congressional Republicans more to handle the economy — 41% say Obama;
42% trust Obama more with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act — 37% say congressional Republicans.

They are hoping that his will be as low as Dubya's.
 
I can't wait for all the topics you will start in October 2016 touting Obama to Bush in the polls at the same point in their presidencies. Obama is going to have to sink below 18 percent to break that particular record.

Let's not forget Bush is the reason Obama is President today.

From the first line....

lowest approval ratings at this point in the presidency
 
I can't wait for all the topics you will start in October 2016 touting Obama to Bush in the polls at the same point in their presidencies. Obama is going to have to sink below 18 percent to break that particular record.

Let's not forget Bush is the reason Obama is President today.


:lol:

Nope.

It had to do with race and any level headed thinking person would realize it.

Put Bush aside.

He beat Hillary and Biden amongst others.

Yep, a freshman senator with absolutely no experience governing or running a business....OR ANYTHING for that matter, beat Hillary and Biden.

How?

Because many white people voted for him so they could feel good about themselves.

He had superior organization. And people were tired of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty.

Bush is the reason we have Obama today. If Bush and the GOP had not completely fucked up in every way imaginable, we would be saying, "Barack who?" today.

:lol:

This is true. A lot of white people voted for Obama in a backlash against the Bush and the Dick and their obvious lies. And to this day Iraq is a mess with over 2700 dead since April.
And no one should forget Bush's final numbers:

And despite all the far left propaganda, Bush did not run against Obama.

G5 is not a lefty drone, he just gets lost when trying to attack both sides. However he is correct, just it has no real barring on this topic in this thread. Obama could quite easily get in the low 20% as Bush did, people didn't see that coming for Bush when he was just under 50%, so why and try predicting the future.

I'd like top think that Bush was horrible, and Obama is worse... thus giving us a real libertarian President as Bush gave us Obama. Progressives that make up Republican policy and Democrat policy have clearly failed, but the question is will enough voters see that.

Kosh, you never have an original, salient, fact-worthy comment. You are like a little girl who stands there with her hands on her hips, stamping her foot and sticking her tongue out. I shudder to think that you actually graduated from high school much less any education after that.
 
Obama makes Nixon look like Mother Theresa.

I do find it funny that Obama did what Nixon did on a scale that of literally hundreds of millions of times over, and the left still stands silent as a majority... Not to say Obama is not losing huge lumps of supporters.
