Surely you remember back during the Bush Administration when every time a new poll came out showing that Bush poll numbers were down, it was the lead item on the news. Obama's job approval numbers are in crater mode now. Somehow, it's not a news story though.
The percentage of American voters who disapprove of how President Obama is handling his job is at an all-time high, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released early Thursday that also shows Obama's approval rating among whites and men has dropped below the 40-percent mark.
Today, just 42 percent of voters approve of the job that Obama is doing, while 52 percent disapprove. That is a significant decline from July, when 47 percent of voters approved of Obama, and 46 percent disapproved.
Just a third of white voters approve of Obama, whose approval rating is also anemic among men (39 percent) and independent voters (40 percent).
"Men, whites and independent voters were the president's weak spots when his job approval was positive, and those groups have progressed from being weak spots to being serious problems," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
