SNIP:
The sixth-year blues have caught up to Barack Obama with a vengeance. In an NBC/WSJ poll taken before the meltdown in Iraq, Obama gets his lowest marks ever on foreign policy, where his claim to smart power has evidently reached its expiration date. But the real danger to Obama and to Democrats vying for office in less than five months is the vote of no confidence in Obamas leadership:
The percentage of Americans approving of President Barack Obamas handling of foreign policy issues has dropped to the lowest level of his presidency as he faces multiple overseas challenges, including in Iraq,according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Additionally, the public is evenly split on whether Obama is a competent manager of the federal bureaucracy. And a majority of respondents 54 percent believe the term-limited president is no longer able to lead the country.
Just 37 percent approve of his handling of foreign policy, which is an all-time low in the survey, while 57 percent disapprove, an all-time high.
Whats more, by a 44 percent-to-30 percent margin, Americans disagree with the Obama administrations decision to secure the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five imprisoned Taliban fighters.
Obamas job approval comes in at 41/53, the second-worst in the NBC/WSJ series (March 2014′s 41/54 is the nadir). The 37/57 on foreign policy is a record low for Obama, and the economy is nearly at a historical low at 41/54.
But its the leadership issues that will make headlines today. In terms of competency, Obama now ranks below Bush at the analogous point in time of his predecessors presidency. Post-Katrina Bush had a 53/46 rating for competency, while its an even split at 50/50 for Obama. Thirty-one percent say Obama isnt competent at all, compared to 24% for Bush in the same time frame, and thats a ten-point increase for Obama from last June.
