A new Pew poll shows that President Barack Obama’s ratings have plunged downwards, while his disapproval ratings are climbing.
He’s got a thumbs-up from only 41 percent of 2,003 adults, and 53 percent disapproval.
The approval rate has fallen from 55 percent in December, and it puts him close to President George W. Bush, whose ratings for the same time-period in 2005 were only 35 percent, said the Pew report. Among registered voters, he’s got 39 percent approval, 56 percent disapproval.
Obama has even worse numbers than Bush on particular issues, such as his second-term push for increased immigration.
He’s got 32 percent support for his efforts to award 30 million green-cards to mostly low-skill immigrant workers during the next decade. But 60 percent of the respondents oppose the increased flow into the nation’s high-skill, high-unemployment economy. Even among his Democratic supporters, he faces 42 percent disapproval.
Back in February, as the immigration debate was starting, he had 44 percent support for his immigration policy.
On the economy, he’s got 31 percent approval, 66 percent disapproval.
He’s only got 37 percent approval on his highest first-term priority, health-care, and faces 59 percent disapproval amid reports of canceled policies, broken websites and rising prices.
