Gallup: More Americans Viewing Obama's Economic Plans Unfavorably

The latest Gallup poll found that despite the fact that "67% of Americans view President Barack Obama favorably, his overall job approval rating and his ratings on specific areas are less positive. At the low end of the spectrum, only 45%of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of federal spending, and 46% of his handling of the federal budget deficit... Obama’s job approval rating for his handling of the economy has dropped from 59% in February to 55% today, while his disapproval rating has risen by 12 points, from 30% to 42%. The fact that Obama’s approval on the economy has become more negative over this time period is of interest, given that Gallup’s measure of consumer mood has become more positive between March and the current time... Gallup has measured Obama’s handling of the federal budget deficit only twice — once in March and again in the current survey — and his ratings have become slightly more negative over that time. The percentage of Americans approving has dropped by three points, while the percentage disapproving has increased by four points."
