Obama, Obamacare Sink to All-Time Low in Polls
Bad news for President Barack Obama.
A new CBS poll released Wednesday showed the president's job approval rating has plummeted to the lowest of his presidency, and Americans' approval of his signature health care plan has dropped to the lowest it's been since CBS News started polling on the law.
Thirty-seven percent now approve of the job Obama's doing as president, down from 46 percent in October. The president's disapproval rating is at a high of 57 percent.
Support for the Affordable Care Act has dropped as well. Approval of the law has fallen to 31 percent, a drop of 12 points since last month. Sixty-one percent -- including 46 percent who say they disapprove strongly -- said they disapprove of the Affordable Care Act.
The poll is reflective of a growing crisis for the Obama administration, which has received significant criticism over the glitchy rollout of its signature health care plan. Last week, the administration released enrollment numbers for the health care plan and only 106,000 people had successfully signed up across the country.
