How bad is it? The president’s job approval (41%) is tied with his worst EVER job rating recorded by NBC/WSJ. The president has been bumping along the bottom for a while now – the other “41″ was measured just recently in March. To put this number in context, the president’s job rating is worse now than his 45% approval going into the 2010 “shellacking” elections.
Only 41% approve of the president’s handling of the economy; again, a figure that is WORSE than just prior to the 2010 elections (43%). How about foreign policy? Only 37% approve of the president. So much for the Bergdahl Boost in an area where presidents are always looking to put 2nd term points on the board. CONT.
