Rising gas prices—and GOP attacks centered around them—have delivered
a blow to President Obama’s approval rating, a new poll out Monday
suggests.
The Washington Post/ABC News
survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are unhappy
with how the president has handled gas prices. The same poll found that
more Americans now disapprove of Obama’s overall job performance than
approve for the first time since this past November.
The poll found that 46 percent of respondents said they either
strongly or somewhat approve of the president’s job performance, while
50 percent say they strongly or somewhat disapprove.
