MSNBC: A Record Number of Americans Disapprove of Obama

Americans think Republicans not Democrats should take control of Congress in 2014

President Obama is shattering records once again, but this time not for the best: new polls have found that his approval rating is plummeting while his disapproval rate is soaring.

A poll by NBC and the Wall Street Journal found that a record high 54 percent of Americans disapprove of Obama, while a scant 43 percent of Americans approve of the President.

Similarly, a Quinnipiac University poll showed that a whopping 57 percent of Americans approve of the President, with his approval ratings sinking to a new low: 38 percent.

The President’s new ratings can largely be credited to the disastrous, failed rollout of his legacy piece of legislation- Obamacare, the dismal state of the economy, and the recent government shutdown.

When asked about their opinions of Obamacare, Americans did not express favorable feelings for it: 50 percent said it was a bad idea and 34 percent said it was a good idea.

Americans also weighed in on the upcoming 2014 Midterm Elections with more people saying Republicans not Democrats should take control of Congress.
