Obama's approval numbers continue to shrink to all time low

Politico:
President Barack Obama’s job approval has dropped to an all-time low, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey shows that a mere 42 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance, down five points from a poll conducted in early October. The president’s disapproval rating stands at 51 percent, tying an all-time high for Obama.

In all, 41 percent of respondents say they have a less favorable opinion of the president since the 16 day government shutdown, compared to 21 percent who say they have a more favorable view since the shutdown.

The Affordable Care Act has made headlines since the flawed launch of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1, and the poll shows that the website’s glitches might have raised concerns about the entire law’s tenability. Forty percent say they are less confident in the law based on what they have heard about it in the last several weeks, while 50 percent say the last few weeks have had no influence on their confidence in the law.

Forty-seven percent believe that the law is a bad idea, compared to 43 percent who said they believed it was a bad idea in early October.

He has not been an appealing person of late.  His actions during trhe shutdown was obnoxious and not presidential.  Then the Obamacare debacle hit and he was shown to have mislead millions about their ability to keep their current plan.
