Obama’s Disapproval Rating Higher Than Ever

Obama’s bad week just got a lot worse. New polls from the Washington Post and CBS News show more Americans disapprove of the President than ever before.

The AP-GfK poll shows 59 percent of Americans now disapprove of Obama — a point higher than the previous high set in December.

Obama’s approval rating stands at 41 percent. That’s the second-lowest figure the poll has ever found.

Part of Obama’s problems appear to be related to foreign policy: The poll shows Americans disapprove of his handling of the situation in Ukraine 57-40 and disapprove of how he handles relationships with other countries 58-40.

Obama’s weakness toward Russia is also starting to reflect poorly, a CBS poll shows. When asked since Obama was elected if they think the United State’s image has gotten better, just 32% say ‘yes’ while another 43% say America’s image has gotten worse:

The same CBS poll also reveals that a derisory 36% of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of foreign policy, compared to 48% just one month ago.
