CNN/ORC Poll: Obama Disapproval Rating Increases On Foreign Policy, Economy

The numbers are in and it's not looking to good for President Obama.

According to a new CNN/ORC poll, Obama's disapproval rating is now at 51 percent with people saying they dislike how he's handling the presidency.

This comes after a brief bump into positive numbers in July when 49 percent approved and 47 percent disapproved, reported CNN. Now, the majorities disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy and his stance on foreign policy, as 52 percent believe the policies Obama proposed would move the country in wrong direction.

Specifically, 62 percent disapprove of how Obama is handling ISIS, who controls some areas of Iraq and Syria, while 60 percent say they approve of his management of the U.S. relationship with Iran.

The increasing disapproval rating of Obama is largely due the increase in an already poor rating among Republicans. Disapproval ratings from Republicans rose to 89 percent, as opposed to the 82 percent in July, while he has remained steady among Democrats and Independents (85 percent of Democrats approve now, 84 percent in July, while 42 percent of independents approved in both polls), according to the Washington Examiner.

The CNN/ORC Poll was conducted by phone among a randomly selected national sample of 1,001 U.S. adults between Aug. 13-15 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
