Poll after poll has charted President Obama’s dipping approval rating in recent months, but Wednesday brought perhaps the cruelest cut to date: A new Quinnipiac University survey found that voters rate Mr. Obama as the country’s worst president since World War II.

With Mr. Obama deploying troops to Iraq, failing to find compromise with Congress and seeing major defeats in the Supreme Court, voters continue to sour on him. The new poll also revealed that more voters now say GOP nominee Mitt Romney would have been a better choice in 2012.

Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney had been elected, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren’t so sure — just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.

Voters also rated the man who swept into office in 2009 with a promise of “hope and change” as worse than even his predecessor, Republican President George W. Bush, who left office with terrible approval ratings.

“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

A Zogby Analytics Poll released Wednesday also found Mr. Obama slipping — in that survey, to 44 percent approval, while his disapproval jumped 4 percentage points from last month to reach 54 percent.

Nearly half of voters told the Zogby poll that Mr. Obama is “unable to lead the country.”

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Mr. Obama still has the ability to lead America, whatever the polls say.

Obama is the worst president ever;
“There’s no doubt the president has the leadership and stature necessary to call upon the American public to rally around the kinds of ideas that are in the best interests of the country,” he said.

But in his sixth year in office, Mr. Obama has turned increasingly to executive action to attack his policy goals, thereby mocking congressional Republicans for failing to work with him. On Tuesday, he ridiculed GOP efforts to rein in his executive powers with the threat of a lawsuit.

“As long as they’re doing nothing, I’m not going to apologize for trying to do something,” Mr. Obama said.

The president said this week that Americans are “extraordinarily cynical about Washington right now,” and the Quinnipiac survey shows that assessment is hurting Mr. Obama. A full 54 percent of voters believe the Obama administration is not competent at doing its primary job of running the government.

On overall job approval, Mr. Obama is upside-down by 13 points, with only 40 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving. That’s a 5 point slide since April.

The public doesn’t trust his handling of the economy (40 percent approval) or foreign policy (37 percent approval).

As much as voters are down on President Obama, the star of former President Ronald Reagan continues to soar. The two-term California Republican was rated as the best of the 12 presidents who have served since Franklin Delano Roosevelt by 35 percent of the voters polled by Quinnipiac, just short of twice the number of second-place Bill Clinton at 18 percent. John Kennedy came in third in the “best category” at 15 percent and Mr. Obama was fourth at 8 percent. No other chief executive got above 5 percent support.

You are a whiner - wake up, start getting your info from reilable sources, and try and be a bit more intelligent about your comments - stick to the facts. Try to understand cause and effect. And I think you meant that congress is the worst since WWII which they are - biggest bunch of losers ever -

I've always been curious why some punks cultivate on their faces what real men have "growing wild" on their "butts"?

Tell me, badly in need of washing your face, what's YOUR claim to fame, anyway? I could easily tell you why YOU are an idiot........because you look like one! (I have an uncanny ability to determine who's an idiot, just by looking at them......and you're definitly one! )

Dear Conrade Gene;
I DO get my information from reliable sources; (and BTW.....next time you you're challenged about how to spell "reliable", I suggest you invest in a dictionary. ) I highly recommend the "Color Oxford English Dictionary", at www.oxforddictionaries.com or your local "Books-a-Million" store.

So you think because I don't agree with you, that means that I'm stupid and you're "smart", right? I have a better idea, Gene; stick you finger up your nose before your brains fall out! (and be sure to let us know how you like your new dictionary )

Gitzo: Dear Conrade Gene;

Nagy: How mindless of Gitzo to label everyone a communist who is not far right enough to be a Republican, as he is. In Gitzo's narrow world the Democrats somehow dupe much the same right wing corporations who bankroll the Republicans into financing them but when in power serve other interests. The right wing elite, however, are too stupid to notice this, and continue to shower them with money.

Gitzo obviously has no idea what of the meaning of words like left, right, communist, etc., except for the skewed definition right wing media imputes to them for the purpose of taking a true populist agenda completely out of public dialogue.

Gitzo: BTW.....next time you you're challenged about how to spell "reliable", I suggest you invest in a dictionary. ) I highly recommend the "Color Oxford English Dictionary", at www.oxforddictionaries.com or your local "Books-a-Million" store.

Nagy: People who are inarguably more literate than Gitzo could have made the obvious typo that BTW made, namely writing "reilable" instead of "reliable." His fingers transposed two letters. This is the same thing that happened when Gitzo himself misspelled "comrade" as "conrade." Notice also that Gitzo wrote "next time you you're challenged…" Later Gitzo writes, "stick you finger up your nose..." People are tempted not to give the benefit of the doubt to the target of their anger, so it would be tempting for his opponents to say that Gitzo is even more linguistically challenged than Gene. In all fairness, however, it only appears that in a post that chastises Gene for making a single typo, Gitzo made three of them. It is not fair to characterize slip-ups as illiteracy, for which I, myself, have little tolerance, but arrogantly condemning others for a single typo while one makes many is the height of hypocrisy.

Gitzo: So you think because I don't agree with you, that means that I'm stupid and you're "smart", right?

Nagy: I thought Gene51 drew his conclusions from the lack of logic in Gitzo's statements.

Gitzo: I have a better idea, Gene; stick you finger up your nose before your brains fall out! (and be sure to let us know how you like your new dictionary )

Nagy: A brain falling out of one's head through a nostril? What is that supposed to mean?

PNagy, why are you a communist?

PNagy Loc: Missouri City, Texas

What makes you think I am a communist? The statement indicates that you have at best a superficial understanding of what a communist is.

bodacious Loc: Oregon

Gee isn't it always the conservative side who starts the name calling, innuendos and stupid reply's. That is what the left is constantly yelling at me anyway. Always seems strange that it is the liberal who instigate the garbage just so they can lie and say we conservatives did it. Kinda like lets make up crap and blame Bush or Reagan. Yet the liberals all think they are the intelligent one and the rest of people are here to do they're bidding as only the liberal has the answer to the worlds problems, trust me, I know whats best for you sheeple as I am the socialist hierarchy. All info must come from a communist style news source to be correct as Fox or any conservative source are contaminant liars and untrustworthy. The liberal crap never ends.

No way, I completely disagree............He's the worst President since the War Between the States right beside Lincoln.

Oh NO! Caught in "the act" by The Great Nagy!

Dear CoMrade Nagy; At least I have a much better excuse for making an occasional typo than Typo Gene has; prior to having an unfortunate incident with a rare species of crocodile about 20 years ago, I was a much better typist and normally used all ten of my fingers; after the incident with the croc, my right index finger is now 1/3 of it's original length and my right thumb is now 1/2 of it's former length.
I'm happy to report that I have no problems doing anything that I was able to do,"BC", (before crocodile ), but alas, I'm now back to two or three finger typing; (something about "muscle memory" or some such rot; )

Now......what's all of this nonsense about me having supposedly called such & such lib a "communist"? And what's all this about me being a "Republican"? I can't recall having called anyone on UHH a communist, as I'm generally more inclined towards calling libs things that are much more "specific" and accurate; (such as when I commonly refer to about half a dozen here as being "trolls" ).......which is not only specific, but it's also accurate.

While I'm speaking to you, have you ever noticed how many liberals there are on this forum who use a picture of them selves as their avatar? IMO, that may "work" just fine if you happen to have a striking resemblance to John Wayne or Kirk Douglas in their heyday, but I must tell you, Nagy......you are certainly no John Wayne or Kirk Douglas "look-alike"! Having said that, in all fairness I must admit though, that as compared to that whiskery looking oaf with the ridiculous (and un-pronounceable ) display name of "nakkh" or some-such, you at least appear to be closer to "average" and less like an obese slob with a dirty face.

Your arguments though, based as they are on your far left-leaning world view are just as ridiculous as ever.

I suppose I better add this:

Nagy; "A brain falling out of one's head through a nostril? What is that supposed to mean?"/quote]

Gitzo; Had my comment been delivered "in person", rather than on a forum with the risk of a few ladies present, I think it will suffice to convey my meaning adequately; if I had had the luxury of being "up close and "in his face", I would probably have said something else.

Oh here we go again. Gitzo posts a long quote from that bastion of intellectual rigor, The Washington Times, the love child of Rev Moon of South Korea, he of the mass weddings.

When someone questions the post (not necessarily Gitzo) for accuracy, Gitzo and his henchmen spring into action with personal insults. The questioners are called libtards, communists - suddenly its 1960! - and Gitzo implies that he'd gladly punch out those who disagree with him or his horde, but of course he's no where near them.

What would you do, Brother Gitzo, if Brother Nagy "called you out" and journeyed to the culvert in Indiana you call home? Would you sally forth to insult him to his face? Or more likely you'd crawl further into the sewer where you seem to reside.

Why not do more photography, and less futile, adolescent, pseudo-intellectual posturing?
