AP Poll: Obama's Approval Now At 37%
Maybe the fever has broken.
The GOP's doing even worse but then again they're always doing worse.
Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.
...
Fifty-two percent said Obama is not doing enough to cooperate with Republicans to end the shutdown; 63 percent say Republicans aren’t doing enough to cooperate with him.
I should note that prior to this very bad poll for Obama, the RCP average had his approval rising a tiny bit through the shutdown. We'll have to see if any other polls show this sort of fall.
