A new Pew poll shows that President Barack Obama’s
ratings have plunged downwards, while his disapproval ratings are climbing.
He’s got a thumbs-up from only 41 percent of 2,003 adults, and 53 percent disapproval.
The approval rate has fallen from 55 percent in December, and it puts him close to President George W. Bush, whose ratings for the same time-period in 2005 were only 35 percent, said the Pew report.

Obama has even worse numbers than Bush on particular issues, such as his second-term push for increased immigration. He’s got 32 percent support and faces 60 percent opposition for his efforts to sharply increase immigration of roughly 25 million low-skill workers into a high-skill, high-unemployment economy.
On the economy, he’s got 31 percent approval, 66 percent disapproval.
He’s only got 37 percent approval on his highest first-term priority, health-care, and faces 59 percent disapproval amid reports of canceled policies, broken websites and rising prices.
The numbers match other recent polls. Gallup showed his support dipping this week to 39 percent approval, with 54 percent opposition. The number quickly bounced back to 42 percent, however. An NBC poll, released Oct. 30, showed his support at 42 percent.
