Obama approval rating slips slightly in poll

The same poll also found overwhelming support for appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS case – something that Obama has rejected. A total of 76% of respondents said there should be an independent special prosecutor, versus 17% who said there shouldn’t be. Democrats favor a special prosecutor by about two to one.
Obama’s approval rating is higher in the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls, though it’s even with his disapproval rating. In the average of polls taken May 16 through 28, approval of the president’s job performance is 48.4% compared to 48.3% disapproval. The RealClear average includes the latest Quinnipiac poll.
Voters who said that congressional criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya amounted to “playing politics” outnumbered those who said it was a legitimate concern. But more voters agreed than disagreed that the IRS’s targeting and the Justice Department’s seizure of reporters’ phone records raised legitimate concerns.

 Did they poll the low information types? well of course they did. In all my 47 year I never recall being polled once, nice to have people abroad who think for me :)
