According to the latest IBD.TIPP
Presidential Leadership Index conducted June 24-29, The Insufferable
Airhorn’s approval rating took a dive to a record low. The 11.7% decline was his worst ever. According to TechnoMetrica, it’s the fourth
straight reading below 50%, signaling disapproval.
Revelations about the National
Security Agency's surveillance of Americans' phone records and Internet
activity dominated headlines over the past month. Meanwhile, more news came out
of the IRS' targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups seeking
tax-exempt status.
"Each day that passes
there's a new mention of these things, they seem to kind of fester, they don't
seem to go away," said Raghavan Mayur, president of TechnoMetrica Market
Intelligence, on the NSA, IRS and other scandals.
A clear majority, 59%-34%, said
government surveillance invades the privacy of innocent Americans. Among
independents, it's 72%-25%. Even 42% of Democrats agree that it's an invasion
of privacy.
The president's support among Democrats fell to
79.8, the lowest index reading since February 2012. His support among single
women—a key part of his base—has tumbled from 74.6 around Election Day to 52.9
now. Meanwhile, he fell to all-time lows among Republicans, independents, men
and married women.
Oopsie.
