Obama Job Approval Hits New Low

Just 3 in 10 voters believe Obama's America is headed in the right direction, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll.

From Rasmussen Reports:
Thirty percent (30%) of U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending May 30.

While the latest finding is up slightly from the previous week, it is still five points lower than the recent high following Congress' passage of the national health care bill. At that time, 35% felt the country was heading in the right direction, the highest level of optimism measured since early September 2009. Since then, the number of voters who feel this way has steadily declined and is beginning to mirror levels found prior to passage of the bill.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats say the country is heading in the right direction. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans and 73% of voters not affiliated with either party say America's heading down the wrong track. These findings have changed very little for several weeks now.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of African-American voters feel the country is heading in the right direction. Seventy percent (70%) of both whites and voters of other ethnicities say wrong track.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of all voters now believe the nation is heading down the wrong track. Following passage of the health care bill, a burst of enthusiasm by Democratic voters pushed that number briefly down to 60%.
