For the first time in ABC News/Washington Post polling, a slight majority (52%) have an unfavorable view of the President. Hes also underwater when it comes to his favorability in a couple of other new polls. Thats a big change from the beginning of the year, when his favorable ratings were hovering at or near 60% in some surveys. Theres been times where I thought we were slapped around a little bit unjustly - this one is deserved, Obama said Thursday during a news conference on the health care woes. And he acknowledged his personal attributes have taken a hit, saying, I think its legitimate for them to expect for me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law in particular and on a whole range of these issues in general. Fifty-percent of those questioned in the ABC News/Washington Post poll say the President isnt honest and trustworthy, similar to findings in last weeks Quinnipiac survey. And hes also underwater when it comes to leadership and empathy. And in another sign of how Obamacares hurting Obamas poll numbers,only 41% say they consider the President a good manager. politicalticker.blogs.cnn/2013/11/19/poll-suggests-obamacare-could-have-cost-obama-second-term/
