President Obama’s job approval among American voters has dropped to negative territory with just 38 percent voicing their approval versus the 58 who says they disapprove, according to a national poll released Tuesday by the independent Quinnipiac University. That is one percent less than the 39% who said they approved of him in last month’s poll. The majority of the 2,692 registered voters the University in early December said that the president is not honest and trustworthy.

When asked, “Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as President?,” respondents gave Obama lackluster ratings even in some of his key demographics: just 41 percent of voters 18 to 29 years old and 50 percent of Hispanics said they approved of the job he was doing. On the upside, however, 76 percent of Democrats and 85 percent of black voters polled said they approved of Obama.

A national survey by the Pew Research Center and USA Today released Tuesday and conducted between Dec. 3 and Dec. 8 among 2,001 adults had a slightly different take: the survey said Obama’s steadily declining job rating actually showed modest improvements this December for the first time since last spring. Plus, the researchers found that the president engendered more public confidence on health care policy than Republican leaders in Congress did.

However, like the Quinnipiac poll, the study found that more people disapprove than approve of President Obama’s job performance and that the general trend is down, even taking this most recent bump into consideration. The Affordable Care Act have had an overall negative affect on the president’s popularity in 2013.

“A rousing chorus of Bah! Humbug! for President Barack Obama as American voters head into the holidays with little charitable to say about the president,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

The President dragged down Democrats too. For the first time this year, 41 percent of American voters said that they would vote for a Republican over a Democrat for the U.S. House of Representatives, verdus the 38 percent who said they would not.

No you don't but can you imagine what we could get done if we could cut out the 20% on each fringe end.?

Obama is still four times more popular than Congress.

Good news Obama does not need to get elected again.

Dems will lose the Senate in 2014 and lose ground in the House. Nice that they made the precedent of changing the filibuster rules for judges. The Repubs may change them for everything.

Wait until this kenyan kare gets rolling.....People are enrolled but not covered. ....No way to pay yet,,,,

High deductibles fuel new worries of Obamacare sticker shock They're seeing sticker shock" in transitioning to the more-comprehensive coverage, and "once they start to use the policy, they will see a second sticker shock" of high deductibles, said Jamie Court, president of public-interest group Consumer Watchdog in California.

For example, the patient's typical share of the cost of having a baby through normal delivery -- $6,150, according to one insurer's estimate -- would be almost entirely an out-of-pocket expense for a person holding a bronze policy with the average $5,081 deductible.

"The anger is going to grow, because people are really stretched to buy these policies, then they're going to have to reach into their pocket for another five grand before it does anything for them," Mr. Court said.

Not sure who Quinnipac University used for their polling, but Obama's over all approval ratings are up and are much higher than 38%.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove (see trends).

After seven months of steady decline, public approval of Obama’s job performance has ticked upward, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The poll finds 45% of Americans approve of Obama’s work and 49% disapprove.

I see someone spent the weekend at Mr Big Dog's Obama re-education camp in Florida. At least it's warmer than Boston.

I even got a free "I Love Obama" t-shirt.
