President Barack Obama’s approval rating has slid beneath the 40-percent mark for the first time ever in the Real Clear Politics polling average.
The president is now at 39.9 percent approval, and 55.8 disapproval, amid rising public frustration with his takeover of the nation’s health-care system, high unemployment and a fast-growing national debt.
The polls show his approval rates currently ranging from 37 percent in a CBS poll, up to 44 percent in a Rasmussen poll.
