| Description | "President Obama's job approval rating in Ohio has fallen to an all-time low, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University. Only 40 percent of voters in the Buckeye State currently approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 57 percent disapprove. The latest nubmers represent an ongoing deterioration in Obama's numbers in Ohio over the last six months, down from a 54 percent post-election job approval rating in December 2012 and a 45 percent approval rating in April of this year.
The president still receives strong support from Democrats (82%) and little support from Republicans (9%), but his standing among Independents has fallen dramatically to just 34 percent, while 64 percent disapprove.
Majorities of men (61%) and women (53%) in Ohio now view the job President Obama is doing negatively.
The scandals surrounding President Obama appear to have taken their toll as well. Only 44 percent of Ohio voters currently view the president as "honest and trustworthy," while 52 percent do not. In November 2011, the last time Quinnipiac asked this question, 57 percent viewed the president as "honest and trustworthy" while only 37 percent did not." |
