Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away

Another Sinking Ship

President Obama has passed the Big 4-0 -- going the wrong way.

Turns out voters were not simply satisfied to spank the Democrat and his party in the Nov. 2 midterm elections with historic losses in the House of Representatives.

Obama's job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%.

A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20...

It doesn't seem there's an aggregate one, like Bush's. Best I could find:

yep, that's the info plotted on the graph for Bush. Without the graph though, the results are not aggregated, so while one can pick up some trends, they fluctuate due to the news of the day.

Try explaining the reasons for graphing to 7th graders! LOL! You need the data gathers and you need those that crunch the numbers. Then you need to make a visual.

I'd expect we'll see the first good graphs in the next year or so.

Thank you! The Bush graph makes it very easy to find major events, at the same time shows the general directions following each. Many blame the wars for his low final numbers, it becomes clear with plotting though, that while the length of them caused a lowering, it was when he turned domestic on immigration reform, then the financial cave ins that he lost nearly all.

And Obama is building on on those Bush policies

Unlike what the liberal media is reporting, it is clear Obama is getting credit for all his accomplishments
