CNN, whose
poll has lagged considerably behind other polling outfits in gauging
Obama's unpopularity has released a survey that shows the president
tanking with 42% approval rating:

The
president's approval rating now stands at 42 percent - an all time low
in CNN polling and 8 points lower than where Obama was only three
weeks ago. Moreover, 56 percent of all Americans think the president
has fallen short of their expectations. (More poll results)

The
president's sagging poll numbers couldn't come at a worse time for
congressional Democrats, themselves facing a nine-point deficit in the
so-called "generic ballot" question heading into the midterm elections.
In fact, the president's approval rating is the same as that of
President Clinton's in 1994 - the midterm election year that saw
Republicans wrest control of both the House and Senate.

In even worse news for congressional Democrats, likely voters say they
are considerably more likely to vote for a candidate the president
opposes than one he supports. On the other hand, 50 percent of voters
said they would be more likely to vote for a Tea Party-backed candidate
while a third of Americans said Tea Party support would dissuade their
vote for a candidate.
