Obama's Approval Rating Hits New Low of 42%

I know I wrote about a poll yesterday, but I think this one is important to know about.  Today, the Rasmussen poll tracking President Obama's popularity showed that only 24% of the nation's voters strongly approve of the way that he is performing his role as president while 44% strongly disapprove. This gives him an approval rating of 42% (or -20), the lowest he's been since taking office. It seems that his score on the economy is bringing down his average as only 39% give him positive marks in that area, but his numbers are also sagging in the low 40s on national security and environmental issues. So, finally we see Obama starting to fall with the rest of his party, and frankly, with Washington, as voter sentiment toward politicians remains abysmal.
