His economic polling will rebound over time but I’m not so sure about the other two.
In an interview with CBS News on Feb. 7, prior to the Super Bowl, the president made a surprise call for a half-day, bipartisan, nationally televised summit on healthcare. The political need for Obama to make such a bold move is underscored by his relatively low 36% approval rating on his handling of healthcare. Obama’s healthcare approval rating is statistically little different from the 37% he received last month, but the two ratings are the lowest of his administration.
Americans give Obama his lowest rating, 32%, on handling the federal budget deficit, down from 38% when this was last measured in September. His ratings on the deficit have trailed his overall approval rating each time they have been measured. In late March, for example, Obama received 49% approval on handling the deficit while at the same time his overall approval rating was above 60%.
His approval rating on the economy: A robust 36 percent, down 23 points since the stimulus was passed last year.
Meanwhile, Rasmussen finds that fully 75 percent of likely voters are angry about the federal government’s policies. Say, I wonder if the two polls might be connected.
