Barack Obama is facing poll numbers that are now in the same territory as President George W. Bush's following Hurricane Katrina.

The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute released numbers on Tuesday showing that just 38 per cent of registered voters approve of the job Obama is doing as president, with a whopping 56 per cent saying they disapprove.

The president has lost his landslide electoral edge among young voters, too, with a negative 41–49 per cent rating among 18- to 29-year-old voters. His once formidable support among Hispanics has also evaporated: They now support him by an historically small 50–43 per cent margin.

Worse for Obama's fast-approaching legacy-building years, the public believes he is not 'honest and trustworthy,' by a 52–44 per cent score. A smaller majority, 51 per cent, said he lacks 'strong leadership qualities.'

Respondents said by a 41–38 per cent gap that they would vote for a Republican over a Democrat for the U.S. House of Representatives, the first time this year Democrats have had a winning posture in the Quinnipiac poll.

Not entirely correct. There are times when liars ratings have gone up. But it is interesting that its only 38%. Since I've seen polls that have shown his ratings down in the 20s. One by fox that claimed lower than GB by far. Polls have never been something I care for.

It won't really make any difference when the 2nd term restriction of the 22nd amendment to the constitution is done away with so that the lieing of certain heads of government will allow continued avoidance of constitutional safeguards against dictatorship.

God cares! Jesus saves!
