With businesses afraid to hire due to the unpredictable nature of his administration, Barack Obama’s poll numbers have hit their lowest point to date across all of the major polls. He has been abandoned by just about every group and demographic, leaving only the hard core Democratic base and African-American voters standing by their man.

Real Clear Politics averages the major polls and keeps an eye on trends. The latest average shows that Obama has nearly half of the country disapproving of the job he is doing.

With the exception on a single Time poll, every major poll has Obama’s disapproval higher than his approval. And if you look at the Rasmussen poll, which surveys only Likely Voters, as opposed to Adults or Registered Voters, the picture for Obama is even more gloomy. Rasmussen shows the disapproval rating at 56% among likely voters.

It is no wonder Obama has begun sending political teams around the country to stem the tide of negativity. But most see the move as simply an admission of failure and a lack of direction.
