Bloomberg Survey: 45 Percent Oppose Obama Re-Election

Poll numbers continue to show heavy American disapproval of President Barack Obama. A new Bloomberg survey found that 45 percent of Americans believe Obama should be a one-term president, while 42 percent think he deserves another four years in office, The Hill reports.

Another 4 percent say their choice depends on who the other candidates are, and 9 percent are unsure.

Obama’s approval rating slumped below 50 percent starting in July and now stands at 46 percent in Gallup’s daily tracking poll.

With Republicans taking control of the House next month, opposition to the president is likely to strengthen.

In the Bloomberg poll, just 27 percent of respondents say the country is on the right track, while 66 percent say it’s on the wrong track.
