A new CBS News/New York Times poll finds that President Obama's overall approval rating has dropped to an all-time low 43% and his disapproval rating has reached an all-time high of 50%.
The New York Times put it this way:
President Obama’s support is eroding among elements of his base, and a yearlong effort to recapture the political center has failed to attract independent voters, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, leaving him vulnerable at a moment when pessimism over the country’s direction is greater than at any other time since he took office.
The new poll found a partisan a partisan divide. On Obama's job performance: 78% of Democrats approve, 89% of Republicans disapprove and only 37% of Independents approve, while 54% disapprove.
The poll was conducted September 10-15, 2011 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
Gallup's three-day rolling average Obama Job Approval for September 13-15 has Obama's approval back in the 30s -- 39% approval and 52% disapproval.
