GOP Underwater, Obama Approval Down

By: Big 2 News Staff

Updated: March 19, 2013

President Obama's approval rating is dwindling, that's according to a new CNN/ORC International poll.

It indicates that Mister Obama's job approval rating has dipped below 50 percent.

That hasn't happened since September.

Half of those surveyed say they disapprove of the job he's doing in the White House.

The GOP isn't faring well in the public eye either.

Another CNN/ORC International poll finds that 54% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Republican Party.
