Credit for the nose dive in the president’s approval ratings goes to the Republican propaganda machine. I know they must be proud.
President Obama’s approval rating has plummeted eight points over the past month, as the White House continues to deal with a slew of controversies, according to a new poll released Monday.
Obama’s approval rating fell to 45% from 53%, his lowest rating in more than a year, a new CNN/ ORC International survey showed.
“It is clear that revelations about NSA surveillance programs have damaged Obama’s standing with the public, although older controversies like the IRS matter may have begun to take their toll as well,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said in a statement.
The poll, conducted last Tuesday through Thursday, also suggests that more than half of the public no longer trusts the President.
Only 49% of the public believes Obama is honest, the poll showed. In addition, 54% of those polled disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President — an increase of nine points from May.
The new ratings come just weeks after it was revealed that the National Security Administration has been monitoring cell-phone and Internet usage data to help prevent terror attacks.

Another example of the low intelligence of most Americans. I know I have lived surrounded by idiots all my life. Of course, I live in Mississippi, but still, you would hope that people weren't as stupid as they seem to be, but evidently they are.
