President Obama's Job Approval

[CobaltBlue]

State of the Union is about to start. CBS News says President Barack Obama's job-approval performance last year at this time was 52 percent; now it's 46 percent.

Why do you think that is?

1. That is not bad, when you look at congressional approval

He washes overs them 3 times over

3. (R)as has him at 50%

I don't trust (R)as though.

4. The lack of Congressional support for our President

has skewed his approval rating.

Repubs said at the outset that they wanted to destroy Obama and that's still their goal...the country be damned.

Just think what his approval rating would be had the Congress backed him on issues that really matter? It boggles the mind.

History will report his presidency as a true success and denigrade our worthless Congress. These are difficult times and the Repubs could not care any less than they do about it.

So sad.

6. +1

I think negative coverage in the media drives his numbers down as well. Anyone who says the media is liberal is lying.

5. Random variation. nt

7. Not bad at all

Considering the shutdown drama, still high unemployment rate, Syrian standoff, surveillance controversy, manufactured Benghazi and IRS scandals, and health care rollout.
