U.S. President Barack Obama’s approval rating dipped three points this month, according to Gallup pollsters – from 47 to 44 percent. However it was Obama’s marks on the economy which truly fell off of a cliff.
Only 35 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of the economy – down seven points from a month ago. Meanwhile a whopping 62 percent disapprove of how Obama is handling economic issues. That’s his worst economic reading since November 2011.
“It may be summer, but Americans are not all smiles and sunshine,” Gallup’s pollsters noted.
Ya think? Hopes for an economic recovery have given way to the grim realities of America’s “New Normal,” in which economic growth remains sluggish, job growth remains elusive and the soaring federal debt looms as a ticking time bomb.
No wonder Americans are less-than-enthralled with Obama’s “leadership” on the economy …
Anyway, courtesy of Gallup, here’s a look at Obama’s economic approval readings over the course of his term in office …

I wonder how this breaks down along racial lines?
Breakdown here for overall approval (not this specific economic poll). White approval is 33% Non white is 71%. No break down on disapproval.

Actually, this creature’s approval rating should be -459.67 F….
Actually, the relevant breakdown of course is Republican, Independent, and Democrat. Republicans did not vote for him and never will, so their opinion is irrelevant. Democratic approval is important because it is a measure of potential turn out, and Independents are important because they are the swing voters.
95% of the black population voted for Obama.
Yet there seems to be a disproportionate number of blacks crying about racism.

Well, he loses another 20 points and he’ll be in George W Bush territory.
