A terrible polling season just got humiliating for President Obama. On top of collapsing personal and job approval numbers, and a stunning loss in public confidence, a new Quinnipiac poll shows that the American people now see a president who rode into office on a wave of hope and change as<span style="font-size:1.4em;"> the worst president since World War II.</span>
Adding insult to injury, in hindsight, only 38% of voters believe Obama is doing a better job than his 2012 Republican rival Mitt Romney would have. A plurality of 45% believe Romney would be doing a better job than Obama.
When asked who the worst president is since WWII, Barack Obama came in first with 33%. George W. Bush came in second with 28%.
Only 37% of voters believe Obama has been better for the economy than Bush. A slightly smaller number, 34%, believe Bush was better than Obama.
On the overall question of whether Obama has been a better president than Bush, Obama loses 39% to 40%.
These numbers are truly stunning when you realize that the media did everything in its power to destroy Bush, and has subsequently done everything in its power to protect, defend, and give Obama the benefit of the doubt
A full 54% of voters believe the Obama Administration is not competent at doing their primary job: running the government. Only 44% disagree.
On overall job approval, Obama is upside down by 13 points. Only 40% approve, while 53% disapprove. Since April, that's a 5 point shift in the wrong direction for the president.
On his handling of the economy, Obama is upside down a full 15 points, 40-55%.
On foreign policy, a bright spot for most of his presidency, Obama is in the negative a full 20 points, 37-57%.
Health care is almost as bad with only 40% approving, 58% disapproving.
