27th September 2011
Sarah Dutton of CBS News crunched the numbers from the latest CBS/New York Times poll and found that of the last 6 presidents, only Jimmy Carter had worse CBS/NYT polling numbers at this point in his presidency. His approval is 7 points below his disapproval numbers — a minus 7 overall.
Only Jimmy Carter had a negative number at this point — minus 18.
Obama has the highest disapproval number — 50%. Even Carter’s disapproval was not that high, at 49%.
But hang in there, Barry; you’ve still got a year to go.
