WASHINGTON President Barack Obama earned his lowest marks ever on his handling of the economy in a new Associated Press-GfK poll, which also found that an overwhelming majority of Americans now describe the nation's financial outlook as poor.
A frustrated electorate could take it out on the party in power Obama's Democrats in the November elections.
Eleven weeks before the Nov. 2 balloting, just 41 percent of those surveyed approve of the president's performance on the economy, down from 44 percent in April, while 56 percent disapprove. And 61 percent say the economy has gotten worse or stayed the same on Obama's watch.
Now note this laughable CYA. This IS the liberal press. They have to cover for Obama somehow!
Still, three-quarters also say it's unrealistic to expect noticeable economic improvements in the first 18 months of the president's term. And Obama's overall approval rating was unaffected; it remained at 49 percent, in part because most Americans still like him personally.

What a joke! They have to spin the news somehow.
Look even Bill Clinton got that one right. IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID! You think "likeability" is going to save Democrats in November?
It's the economy, stupid!
