Obama's Approval Rating at New Low in Most Recent Quarter

Obama'a approval rating has reached a new low, but it's still above Clinton, Reagan and Carter's ratings at the same point in their presidency. Two of them got re-elected by landslides, one did not. It will all depend on the economy. But as for this election, the Democrats will loose the House and keep the Senate, but only by a slim margin.

Obama's seventh-quarter average ranks on the low end of comparable averages among the nine presidents since Eisenhower, although it above that of several of the more recently elected presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.
