This Marist Poll Reports:
Obama Approval Rating Below 50%...Disapproval Among Majority of Independents
Fewer registered voters nationwide -- 44% -- currently approve of President Barack Obama’s job performance than disapprove -- 47%. When Marist last asked about the president’s approval rating in December, 46% thought well of Obama’s job performance while 44% gave him low marks.
Perhaps, particularly concerning for Mr. Obama is the drop in support among Independents. For the first time since taking office, a majority of Independents -- 57% -- disapproves of how he is doing in the role. 29% approve, and 14% are unsure.
