48% of those polled by liberal biased CNN poll say Obama’s Presidency is a failure

obamafacepalm47% of those polled actually think Obama’s been a success. Yet somehow, CNN manages to have Obama at a 51% approval ratings, and 48% disapproval rating. Remember last night the liberal biased CBS poll that came out only gave Obama a 46% approval, and Rasmussen (the so called right-wing extremist poll) has Obama at a 45% approval rating. CNN tries to shill in this article on the approval ratings that his approval ratings dive really isn’t a problem, since its almost double of what Congress’s ratings are at (which is 27%).

The survey indicates that Obama’s approval rating as president stands at 51 percent, down 3 points from last month, with 48 percent disapproving, up 4 points from December.

“On the plus side for Obama, he remains personally popular and he gets decent ratings on foreign policy and national security issues. That may explain why his overall approval rating is a little higher than the number who say Obama’s first year has been a success,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Unfortunately for Obama, domestic issues – led by the economy – are far more important to the public than foreign policy issues, and a majority disapprove of how he is handling every single economic and domestic issue tested.”

According to the survey, the economy by far remains issue No. 1 with Americans, with 47 percent saying it is the most important issue facing the country today – up 7 points from last month. Health care, at 15 percent, is the second most important issue with the public, followed by the deficit at 11 percent. Terrorism is tied with the deficit, and up 7 points from last month, most likely do to widespread coverage of the attempted terrorist bombing of a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day.

The dominance of domestic issues in importance is most likely a contributing factor to the slight dip in Obama’s overall approval rating.

“Only 44 percent approve of how Obama is handling the economy; just 4 in 10 give him a thumbs-up on health care and his approval rating on the federal deficit has plunged to 36 percent. Those are three of the four most important issues on the public’s mind today,” says Holland. “The president’s ratings also suffer from the growing perception that he is too liberal – 46 percent feel that way today, up 10 points from March.

The poll also indicates that 1 in 10 say that Obama has not been liberal enough. But while the public takes issue with Obama on the issues, two-thirds continue to believe that he has the leadership skills and personal characteristics that a president should have, and that may explain why his overall approval is so much higher than his rating on the issues of greatest concern to the public.
