NRO reports that President Obama’s approval rating is down 14 points from his inauguration, which ties a record:

Obama’s approval is down 14 points from his initial rating — tying President Clinton for the biggest drop since the Eisenhower era. For those interested, here’s how different presidents match up when comparing their initial approval rating with their average approval rating in the August of their first term: Eisenhower +6 (from 68 to 74 percent), Kennedy +4 (from 72 to 76 percent), Nixon +3 (from 59 to 62 percent), Carter -3 (from 66 to 63 percent), Reagan +9 (from 51 to 60 percent), George H. W. Bush +18 (from 51 to 69 percent), Clinton -14 (from 58 to 44 percent), George W. Bush -1 (from 57 to 56 percent), and Obama -14 (from 68 to 54 percent).

The results are not very surprising in light of Obama’s ideological agenda, and the fact that he has squandered the trust of a significant portion of the American people.
