Poll: Economic Crisis
Batters Obama, Could Doom Re-election

The darkening economic cloud has sent President Barack Obama’s job
performance ratings plummeting to just 47 percent — just 1 point higher
than his lowest ever mark — according to a new Washington Post-ABC News
poll.
And his economic approval ratings are his worst since September, when
he stood at 41 percent approval and 57 percent overall disapproval.
In the event that the White House didn’t receive the message, Wall
Street drove the point home on Monday when benchmark rater Standard
& Poor’s cut its long-term outlook on U.S. debt to a dismal
negative rating, signaling a financial crisis if the Obama
administration does not bring down the national debt.
Today’s poll shows that Americans agree with the S & P verdict. In
a tie with his overall worst economic approval rating, 57 percent said
they disapprove of how Obama is handling the economy, with 46 percent
saying they strongly disapprove. Only 23 percent strongly approved.
On the heels of the gloomy economic news, GOP leaders renewed calls for
more drastic cuts in federal spending saying raising the roof on debt
should be contingent on those cuts.
