The Worst Marks

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, reported by Breitbart Big Government, finds attitudes worsening. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.

An all-time record of 76% of Americans do not believe their children’s lives will be better than their own. Almost as many respondents, 71%, believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction.

Barack Obama’s numbers continue to dive; his approval rating dropped to 40% after registering 41% in a June survey. His 54% disapproval rating ties his previous high. On foreign policy, Obama only gleaned a 36% approval rate with a 60% disapproval rate. Those are the worst marks of his presidency.

Obama makes Jimmy Carter look less uniquely terrible every day, worse luck. Two of the last three Democrat presidents have been disasters, whereas Clinton was merely an embarrassment.
