Despite the fact that their poll sampled adults, not voters or likely voters, CBS News reported last night that President Obama has reached an approval nadir at 46 percent, while his disapproval has steadily risen.
From the CBS analysis:
[T]he results are a rebuke to a political leader who championed the slogan, “change we need.”…The public is handing out the lowest grades of Mr. Obama’s presidency for the way he’s handled his his two biggest policy challenges – the economy and health care reform. Only 41% of the public still says that it approves of the way the president is handling the economy. Meanwhile, 82% describe the economy as being in bad condition. What’s more, just 36% support the way he has handled health care reform while 54% disapprove.
