(CNSNews.com) - The belief among the American people that President Barack Obama is "honest and trustworthy" has hit an all-time low, according to a Gallup poll released today.
Nonetheless, 50 percent of those surveyed by Gallup do believe the president of the United States is an honest and trustworthy man.
Forty-seven percent do not.
Also hitting or matching all-time lows, according to Gallup, are the beliefs that Obama has a clear plan for solving the countries problems, that he can manage the government effectively, that he understands the problems Americans face in their daily lives, and that he is a strong and decisive leader.
On seven occasions, starting when Obama was running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Gallup has asked poll respondents: "Thinking about the following characteristics and qualities, please say whether you think each applies or doesn't apply to Barack Obama. How about is honest and trustworthy?"
The first time Gallup asked the question--from March 14-16, 2008--63 percent said "honest and trustworthy" are characteristics that apply to Obama and 29 percent said they did not.
In its most recent asking of the question--in a survey conducted Nov. 7-10, 2013--50 percent said the terms "honest and trustworthy" applied to Obama and 47 percent said they did not.
