CBS: Obama’s Approval Rating on Economy Falls Further

The President’s rating on the economy has taken a further plunge in the latest CBS News Poll. Now, only 38 percent say they approve of the job he is doing handling the issue. Half of those questioned (50 percent) say they disapprove of his work on the economy.

The public is divided on the overall job he is doing now: 44 percent say they approve, while 45 percent disapprove.

The latest CBS News Poll suggests Mr. Obama’s presidency, in general, has not lived up to the expectations of many Americans. In assessing his presidency so far, just one third of Americans said he has been a “very good” or a “good” president. According to 39 percent, he’s been “average”, while 27 percent say he has been a “poor” president.

Those ratings fall far short of the public’s expectations when Mr. Obama took office. In January 2009, two out of three Americans said they expected him to be a good or very good president. Only four percent said they thought he would be a poor president.
