Obama’s approval rating hits new low in CBS poll

Obama is like so popular, how could this be!!?!!!

Just 41 percent of Americans approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, according to the poll, conducted from March 7 to 11. Another 47 percent disapprove of his performance, up from 41 percent last month.

Mr. Obama’s approval rating was 50 percent last month.

Mr. Obama’s job rating on the economy remains about the same as it was last month – 39 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove.

==============================

OH, and how is the "GOP war on women" meme working out for Obozo?

While women are 12 points more apt than men to identify themselves as Democrats, that essentially matches the long-term norm. Largely because of that partisan gap, Obama’s approval rating is 9 points higher among women than men, but again this is typical. Compared with last month, disapproval of Obama’s job performance is up slightly among men, and there’s no increase in approval among women. And on vote preference vs. Romney, Obama did better among men and women alike last month, and has lost ground slightly among both sexes this month.

===========================

Oh, and of special note:

approvers by nearly 4-1. And it’s important: A vast 89 percent are concerned about the recent run-up in gas prices; 66 percent are "very" concerned about it.

=========================

But don't worry, Obama is on the case!

The White House scrambled Monday to contain the political damage from rising gas prices, which have emerged as a primary threat to President Obama’s reelection. 

Obama gave White House interviews touting his energy policies to TV stations in several regions, including the battleground states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar appeared in the White House briefing room to emphasize that “all options are on the table” to lower prices.

I bet Obama and Salazar come up with some great ideas!

Maybe they should get  Energy Secretary Steven Chu's wife a prius or volt (his wife owns a 2002 BMW 325i, which gets 21 MPG)

Part of that ABC/Post poll got cut off. Should read:

Oh, and from the CBS poll:

Question 73. Do you think health insurance plans for all employees should have to cover the full cost of birth control for their female employees, or should employers be allowed to opt out of covering that based on religious or moral objections?

Cover Birth Control: 40%
Allowed to Opt Out: 51%
Depends: 3%

Still 4 times better than the Republican house's approval numbers

====================

Let me know when you would like me to post Harry Reid's poll #'s.
