Gallup Poll: Obama Get's Low Marks On Economy

New Gallup poll today finds that President Obama gets “poor marks on . . . three big economic issues: the federal budget deficit, creating jobs, and the economy generally.” Gallup writes, “He earns his lowest issue ratings on the economic issue areas tested in the survey, with approval on the federal budget deficit the lowest at 30%, and his approval on the economy not much higher, at 36%.”

Gallup also points out, “Obama's ratings on the economy are significantly worse than all three prior successful presidential incumbents at this same point in their first term, according to the available Gallup trends. . . . Comparing presidents' various issue approval ratings to their overall job approval ratings from the same polls, it appears that the economy approval rating is consistently the closest to overall job approval, and therefore arguably the most relevant.”
