Just in time for the election: Obama’s approval numbers hit a new low

Barack Obama’s popularity is like that old Limbo Rock song. How low can you go?

Gallup reports the new low for the O:

gallup obama new low

Barack Obama averaged 44.7% job approval during the seventh quarter of his presidency. His average approval rating has declined each quarter since he took office, falling by more than two percentage points in the most recent quarter to establish a new low.

Question: What do you think will happen to Obama’s popularity after November 2nd? Will this be the low water mark? Will it continue to go down? Or will he be able to use the new Republican majority in the House to whip up support for himself.

Tell us what you think.

  • I think it will bounce. Democrats are in their natural element whining when the adults are running things.

    Remember how every day a new democrat would be on TV demanding "Democracy" or "governmentt by the people" when Bush was in charge? Haven't seen a whole lot of that since 2006 huh? I think they are mentally all still 20 years old like they were in the 60s

  • I honestly hope that the conservatives don't get a majority this november. If they do then they'll get the blame for the economy going to shit as a result of the progressive policies of the last four years of democrat control in congress. If they do get a majority and have the balls to reverse those policies and others that have been destroying our economy, then obama will take the credit for a recovering economy. 1996 all over again. I hope they make enough gains to slow the democrats down, but not enough to have a majority. That will insure that the tea partiers do not get apathetic, and will ensure a REAL conservative sweep in 2012.
