U.S. President Barack Obama’s popularity has hit an all-time low, with a majority of Americans now saying he is dishonest, untrustworthy and not competent to govern, according to a new national poll.
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute conducted 2,545 registered voters nationwide between November 6-11, with a margin of error of plus-minus 1.9 percentage points.
Overall, only 39 percent of Americans now approve of the job President Obama is doing, his lowest approval rating ever registered by the respected Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Fifty-four percent, meanwhile, disapprove of his performance.
Voters in every age and income bracket view his performance negatively, with senior citizens giving him a particularly low 36 percent approval mark.
The biggest group to abandon the presidential ship was women voters, with his overall approval rating dropping to 40 percent. Fifty-one percent, on the other hand, disapprove of his performance.
President Obama’s lowest score before the polling results were released on Tuesday was a 55 – 41 percent disapproval in an October 2011 survey.
The president continues to score high marks among Democrat African American voters, who approve of his performance 79 percent and 75 percent respectively.
A majority of Americans remain opposed to “Obamacare” – 55-39 percent. Only 19 percent of Americans believe the program will increase the quality of care they and their families will receive, while 43 percent say it will get worse.
