Washington Post/ABC News Public Opinion Poll

Nearly 60 percent of American voters say they lack faith in President Barack Obama, according to a Washington Post/ABC News public opinion poll published on Tuesday.

This is a reversal of what voters said at the start of Obama's presidency 18 months ago when about 60 percent expressed confidence in his decision making.

Confidence in Obama is at a new low but the poll found that his numbers are still higher than lawmakers of either major party four months ahead of the November congressional elections.

When asked how much confidence they had in Obama to make the right decisions for the country's future: 58 percent of respondents said "just some" or "none." 68% expressed the same sentiments about Democrats in Congress and 72% said the same of Republicans.

The Post said problems in the housing industry, sluggish job growth and other economic issues may have taken a toll on Obama's approval rating.

Just 43 percent of all Americans, including a third of Democrats, now say they approve of the job Obama is doing on the economy, while 54 percent disapprove.

The survey also found wide anti-incumbent sentiment with 62 percent of voters saying they were not inclined to support their current representative.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs in the November 2 election as well as 36 of the 100 Senate seats.

Democrats now control both houses of Congress, but a slight majority of those polled said they would prefer to have Republicans in control to serve as a check on Obama's policies.

The poll of 1,288 people was conducted July 7-11 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Wow! You would think that Congress and Obama's approval rating would be near bottom! Especially after the Stimulus-Spendulous II; buying Car Companies with tax payers money; bullying CEO’s; throwing money at the corrupt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; ramming health care down our throats; embarrassing the U.S. overseas; letting Mexican Idiot President Calderon lecture us on our laws; siding with criminal aliens and suing the sovereign State of Arizona; after scandalous links to Unions such as SEIU and other organizations such as ACORN; after violating the constitution by hiring “czars” to run federal programs and advise governmental entities; after hiring radical socialist and radical socialist liberal for his cabinet and inner circle – one would think that the American People get it! Apparently not as good as they should. Let’s get rid of this ass clown’s minions in November then throw him out of office 2 years from now. The people deserve better,…this Country’s future demands it.
