A new Gallup poll shows that President Obama has suffered the largest drop in job approval ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term.
Gallup tracking that spans Obama's time in office between July 20th through October 19th shows him with a 53% job approval rating. That is down greatly from his prior quarterly averages, which were both above 60%. In the first quarter, Obama saw a 63% approval, and a 62% in the second quarter.
