President Obama's approval rating is the lowest its been in the 15 months since he took office, a new Quinnnipiac national poll finds. Just 44% now approve of the job he's doing as president, down from 45% last month; meanwhile, 46% disapprove.
Obama now has a 47.9% RCP Average Job Approval.
"President Barack Obama's approval rating hovers at an all-time low," said Quinnipiac assistant polling director Peter Brown. "The White House had predicted passage of the health care overhaul would boost his fortunes, but that has not been the case, and that legislation itself remains decidedly unpopular."
Congress remains astonishingly unpopular, with just 20% approving and 71% disapproving of the job its doing. On the health care reform bill that passed last month, 53% disapprove and just 39% approve of it.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less. ~Susan B. Anthony
