President Barack Obama’s approval rating dropped 8 percentage points over the last month, and for the first time in his presidency more than half of the public doesn’t feel that the president is honest and trustworthy, a new CNN/ORC International poll shows.
A sharp 17-point drop among Americans under 30 fueled the drop in Obama’s approval rating.
The poll was conducted as the White House has been under siege over telephone and Internet surveillance, the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups, its handling of the terror attack on the U.S. consular post in Benghazi, Libya, and the Justice Department’s collecting journalists’ phone records as part of the government’s investigation into leaks of classified information.
CNN’s Chris Cuomo and John King will break down Obama’s falling poll numbers on the debut of “New Day,” at 6 a.m. ET on CNN.
