Crash and burn.
Via The Hill:
President Obama’s personal popularity has hit an all-time low, according to a new survey released Tuesday night.
In the Bloomberg poll, just 44 percent of respondents said they felt positively about the president, while a majority — 52 percent — see him unfavorably. That’s down two points from his previous low of 46 percent, reported last December in the midst of the disastrous ObamaCare rollout.
The poll also found that a majority of Americans — 53 percent — disapproves of the job Obama is doing as president. Just 43 percent say he is handling his job well.
While the president has struggled with middling job-approval ratings in the past, the White House has been buoyed by the American public’s enduring fondness for Obama as a person. But this poll suggests that the recent scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs and controversy over the prisoner swap to release Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are taking their toll on the president’s likability.
Majorities of Americans disapprove of the president’s handling of nearly every major issue, with 57 percent disappointed with his handling of the economy, 58 percent opposed to his approach on healthcare and 63 percent upset with how he’s tackled the budget deficit.
