Voters grant President Barack Obama an overall positive job rating of 43%, according to a new poll by Zogby Analytics, conducted December 17 and 18. The nationwide online poll of 881 likely voters shows a majority (54%) disapproving of Mr. Obama's job performance and 3% not sure.In many ways the real truth behind this poll can be found among several key sub-groups in the Obama coalition where the President has slipped below 50% approval, including men and woman who only rate the President 40% and 45% positive, 30-49 year olds who are split 49% to 48%, moderates who are split 48%-48%, Catholics who are only at 45%-54%, NASCAR Fans 48%-49%, the Investor Class 48%-52%, Weekly Wal-Mart Shoppers 47%-50%. The LGBT voters are only at 50%-36% approval-disapproval. These are all significant declines for the President because these are all groups that provided high levels of support for him in 2012.
