... America's standing in the world, and that's confirmed by polls," he told CNN's Ed Henry in a wide-ranging interview this week during his trip to China."I think a recent one indicated that around the world, before my election, less than half the people -- maybe less than 40 percent of the people -- thought that you could count on America to do to the right thing. Now it's up to 75 percent."Great - maybe the next US elections can be held overseas, since Obama's approval at home continues to tank .

Obama's support dropping nearly as fast as value of the dollar
Doug Ross @ Journal —
... Quinnipiac's latest shows the President's approval rating dropping past the 50% benchmark. And I'd wager he'll hit 40% faster than the time it took to reach 50. President Barack Obama's job approval rating is 48 - 42 percent, the first time he has slipped below the 50 percent threshold nationally, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Of course, with the value of the dollar dropping precipitously on a daily basis, it's truly a race to the bottom. ...

Karzai then tried to reach Clinton. He received the same response. Karzai was left seething, one of his advisers said") recent poll results indicate that Americans are overwhelmingly unconcerned with the ...

... -15. Another record low.
Rasmussen’s Obama Approval Index has now been in negative double digits for nine straight days. Last week the index stood at the previous record low, -14, for three consecutive days.
According to Rasmussen, support for the Democrats’ Obamacare has fallen to a new low of 38%. Sixty percent of voters believe passage of the bill will lead to higher health care costs.
It’s not just Rasmussen, Gallup, Quinnipiac, and Hawkeye all find Obama’s approval to be 48%.

Mudville Gazette —
... A polling oddity: while 58% of Democrats feel "the U.S. should not be involved in Afghanistan now," 63% approve of the president's handling of the war. Party loyalty explains that, of course. But turning to Republicans, only 22% feel the U.S. should not be involved in Afghanistan, and only 20% approve of the president's handling of the war. Once again, Party loyalty (to the other Party) could explain the president's approval numbers, but it's striking that across Party lines the number of people who oppose the war is remarkably close to the ...

... are based upon a sample of likely voters, rather than samples of all adults. Obama’s numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters because some of Obama’s most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote.
It’s not just Rasmussen that finds Obama has lost support, a week ago even CNN found Obama’s job approval rating fell 48%, confirming similar results from Gallup, Quinnipiac, and Hawkeye a week earlier.
