Obamacare support, Obama approval sink to new lows

President Obama's job approval rating has plunged to the lowest of his presidency, according to a new CBS News poll released Wednesday, and Americans' approval of the Affordable Care Act has dropped it's lowest since CBS News started polling on the law.

Thirty-seven percent now approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, down from 46 percent in October -- a nine point drop in just a month. Mr. Obama's disapproval rating is 57 percent -- the highest level for this president in CBS News Polls.

Better than The Onion.

Unfortunately as this fish flops, we will cease to be able to influence our govt on other issues. Many upcoming federal elections will focus on the ACA exclusively. The ACA is the new Abortion Right when it comes to voting. This is unless somehow Dems really turn on the ACA concept (in action, not just news clip), which does seem remotely possible, but is unlikely in the long run.

I am guessing 10-30+ years to phase it out. I would put better odds on the ACA surviving than our economy really recovering. Interestingly enough, the two are kinfolk now.

If we were to graph it, I think support will drop more and then start rising, say 6-24 months from now. This phase will be forgotten except for the extreme right as a last load to sling (sort of like when LJ brings up Bush at this point).

Our president has suffered lows before, like all the other administration problems like IRS, NSA, and Benghazi, think he can bounce back again? Can ACA get fixed? Or will people continue to hate being forced into plans they don't want and can't afford?
I think he will bounce back a little as people eventually transistion and get their healthcare subsidies but I think Americans are getting tired of the incompetence and the appearance of a know nothing administration.

10-30 years to phase it out? I don't think so. It's either going to work great (very slim odds) and we'll keep it, or it continue to fall apart and we demolish it. I don't see even liberals wanting this turd around their neck for very long. The question will be, can we find intelligent people who understand math, cost cutting, competition, the medical industry, etc. who can craft a working replacement. OR, will Americans quickly forget this failure and approve of 100% government controlled singe payer in some sort of mass loss of sanity?

So unless some genius can figure out how to redesign this Pinto asap, the ACA will be lucky to be in place by the time Shrillery and whatever Republican do battle on the debate stage. Besides, Henry Chao (Healthcare.gov chief project manager) just admitted that 30-40% of the website has yet to be built. That's like putting a car out on the market for public sale and only having a functioning first gear with no seat belts, airbags, and faulty lug nuts.

Obama in a death spiral?

I know as a project manager I would have been fired for releasing onto the market a half-finished product that the public couldn't access. And my boss would be fired for not keeping up to date on my project.

There you go, lying again. L O L. He said that 60-70% still needs to be built. They are still looking for the tires.

Mr. Obama's disapproval rating is 57 percent = 57 percent of the country are racists. CBS news is racist for publishing this poll. The Democrats who are running from this fustercluck are racist. I'm racist for even bringing this up.

Boy... that excuse certainly has a hollow ring to it now... doesn't it?

Now BHO has even lost the support of women, less than 50% of women think the President is doing a good job.
Probably because every time a scandal comes up Barack admints to not having heard about it until he read the news.The most out of touch President ever?

More like looking for the body or foundation. Finally someone admitting just how bad the ACA really is.
