A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds that President Obama’s approval rating has sunk to a new low, at 41 percent. While he’s still at 45 percent in the separate Gallup tracking poll, any time a sitting president is in the low 40s territory a few months before the midterm elections in any major poll, it should be worrisome to his party.
Interestingly, even worse than his approval rating on the economy (39%) is his approval rating on Afghanistan (36%), with Americans turning increasingly against the war. Yet with Republicans remaining broadly supportive of the general war effort (especially with Gen. David Petraeus at the helm), I imagine they’ll run more against Obama as an inexperienced commander in chief than against our continued commitment itself.

I'm surprise it took this long for him to hit the low 40's. President Obama has been a complete disaster. At best, he's clueless at worst, he's purposely destroying this country. I have written off any hope to right this ship until someone new takes the helm in 2012. Lets pray the next president knows what the hell he/she is doing.

You are exactly right--either clueless or doing as much damage as he can.
Let us pray that we make it to the next president without an Iranian EMP attack on our country or a collapse of our currency.

And yet somehow he and his band of thugs will get much closer to 50% of the vote, once the unions have exerted their pressure, ACORN has signed up fictional voters, Black Panthers have intimidated at the polls, and felons/illegals have had their say. And if that doesn't work, if a race is still close, the courts will jump in to help us make the "right" decision, because, after all, it is for our own good.

Seriously, you must have decided to be a Democrat the moment you left the womb to claim this man is doing a good job with the economy. 39% approve of how he handles the economy? 41 approve of his overall job performance? Given how amazingly incompetent he has been each of those numbers should be 10% less than they are now.
