"President Obama’s job approval rating down after San Bernardino"

 

With an American public increasingly weary following the recent terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, President Obama’s job rating has dipped to its lowest level in more than a year, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds. According to the survey released Tuesday, just 43 percent of U.S. adults approve of the job the president is doing, while a majority (51 percent) disapprove. Six percent said they are not sure if they approve or disapprove. In October, the same poll found 46 percent approval of Obama’s job as president, compared to 49 percent disapproval. And taking into account the survey’s 3.1 percent margin of error, Obama’s current job rating is dangerously close to its all-time low of 40 percent from September 2014. (President Obama’s highest job approval rating — 61 percent — came in April 2009, near the beginning of his first term.) What’s more, just 20 percent of American adults believe the country is “headed in the right direction,” according to the NBC/WSJ poll, while 70 percent say “things are off on the wrong track.”  The latest survey was conducted just days after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., where 14 people were killed and 22 others injured in what federal authorities believe was a terror attack carried out by violent “homegrown” extremists inspired by ISIS terrorists like those who killed 130 people and wounded 89 others across Paris the month before. Last week, President Obama delivered a rare primetime address from the Oval Office, urging Americans not to give in to fear in the wake of the recent attacks. “I know that after so much war, many Americans are asking whether we are confronted by a cancer that has no immediate cure,” Obama said. “The threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it.” Obama said the San Bernardino attack “was an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people” and that the shooters — Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik — “had gone down the dark path of radicalization.” But critics said the president’s speech offered nothing new in the way of the U.S. policy for defeating ISIS. “Nothing that happened in the speech tonight is going to assuage people’s fears,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said on Fox News. “That all there is?” Republican frontrunner Donald Trump wrote on Twitter. “We need a new President — FAST!”

 

 

^ Hearing these new numbers is not a shock to me. Obama has done very little for the country during his 2 terms (domestically or internationally) and what he does touch seems to turn to "stone" - - like healthcare, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. The only good thing is that he can't be re-elected. Hopefully the next President can fix all his mistakes. ^
