"Walker has a 52% disapproval rate."

That sounds familiar. Where do I sign to recall this guy?

WASHINGTON – A majority of Americans think President Obama should be voted out of office next year, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

The poll contained troubling signs for the incumbent as he prepares for a grueling reelection campaign. While Americans were evenly divided on whether they expect the president to earn a second term, most of those polled said he does not deserve one.

For the first time, the poll found that a majority of adults, 52 percent, said Obama should be voted out of office while 43 percent said he deserves another term

Obama's overall job approval stands at a new low: 44 percent approve while 54 percent disapprove. The president's standing among independents is worse: 38 percent approve while 59 percent disapprove. Among Democrats, the president holds steady with an approval rating of 78 percent while only 12 percent of Republicans approve of the job he's doing.

Obama's overall poll numbers suggest he is in jeopardy of losing, even as the public's outlook on the economy appears to be improving. For the first time since spring, more said the economy got better in the past month than said it got worse.

The president's approval rating on unemployment shifted upward -- from 40 percent in October to 45 percent in the latest poll -- as the jobless rate fell to 8.6 percent last month, its lowest level since March 2009.

But Obama's approval rating on his handling of the economy overall remains stagnant: 39 percent approve and 60 percent disapprove.
