A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has some decidedly bad news for President Obama. The American people, according to this survey, are losing patience with the President and expressing it with low opinions of his job performance, foreign policy, and leadership. It is a distinct concern for him as his administration heads into its final two years.
That said, the news isnt all bad. But far be it for the media to put the results in context so that people get a balanced perspective of the nations mood. In addition to the floundering numbers, there are some areas that ought to produce some optimism for the President and those aligned with his policies. First among them is the fact that, while Obamas numbers are nothing to write home about, his political rivals are doing so much worse that may want to run away from home.

(4,192 posts)Polls like this suck anyway. Like a schoolyard popularity contest. The "News" would be better off if they'd actually tell us the truth about topics that really make a difference in our lives. But I've learned not to expect that from the likes of the WSJ.

(25,111 posts)they rarely mention in their headlines about the GOP party having far worse numbers in their headlines huh. And many will view the glaring headlines depicting DEMS and Pres O as having terrible poll numbers and will read no further. Then you have GOPer troll media repeating the bullshit.

(37,540 posts)Seems like most of the polling is always defined as "Congress"...which really doesn't tell us much as to who people blame for the current inaction and game playing that we see coming out of Washington daily.
