Opinions of President Barack Obama’s personal qualities have taken a hit in recent weeks, particularly views of his honesty and his ability to manage the government effectively, a new CNN/ORC International poll released today shows.
More than half — 53% — of Americans now believe that Obama is not honest and trustworthy, the first time that a clear majority in CNN polling has felt that way. And only 40% of the public believes that Obama can manage the government effectively — the worst score Obama received among the nine personal characteristics tested and down from 52% six months ago.
Obama is still seen as someone who cares about ordinary Americans: six in 10 say he has a vision for the country’s future, and seven in 10 say he is likable — his best attribute of the nine items tested in this poll. But the numbers are down for admiration and likability as well. It’s clear that views of Obama as a person — once his strong suit — have taken a hit in October and throughout 2013.

50% don’t think he is honest. Idiots why did these 50% vote for this idiot. this idiot thinks he knows better than anybody and the proof is they voted for him.he feels you can fool the people because they are so simple minded they won’t know better. but the idiot in the white house; people are getting mad and the one’s who are getting mad are the same people who put you there. You have done more to demoralize black people to look to their future. Look at the people and see you have put more of the black people out of work than white. you have put more single mothers out of work than any other president. We need anybody and everybody to help our economy grow.
The number is really 66% if you discount the black community which supports him no matter what.
If such a large number of Americans don’t feel that the president is being honest with them why should Israel feel any different?
(And this number only includes people that are bored or stupid enough to waste time responding to polls!)
They may not trust him, but the average moron in America would still readily vote for just about any Democrat over a Republican. It must be Bush’s fault that Obama is lying!!
I bet a higher percentage of Iran supports him!
