Add the coming tsunami of health care losses, along with record high unemployment, and reason should dictate that Obamacare, along with the man himself and pretty much the remainder of his policies for that matter, needs to be repealed!CBSNews: President Obama's job approval rating has plunged to the lowest of his presidency, according to a new CBS News poll released Wednesday, and Americans' approval of the Affordable Care Act has dropped it's lowest since CBS News started polling on the law.
Thirty-seven percent now approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, down from 46 percent in October -- a nine point drop in just a month. Mr. Obama's disapproval rating is 57 percent -- the highest level for this president in CBS News Polls.
A rocky beginning to the opening of the new health insurance exchanges has also taken its toll on how Americans perceive the Affordable Care Act. Now, approval of the law has dropped to 31 percent - the lowest number yet recorded in CBS News Polls, and a drop of 12 points since last month. Sixty-one percent disapprove (a high for this poll), including 46 percent who say they disapprove strongly.

Poll: Opposition to Obama, health law spike
ADDENDUM: John Hinderaker says that Obama's free-fall signifies that 'things are only going to get worse'...
PowerLine: The big news story this morning is the CBS poll that has President Obama with a dismal 37% approval rating. Support for Obamacare has plummeted to 31%, with 61% disapproving of the law....basically, he's taking the country with him.
The Democrats are in a panic, but there isn’t much they can do other than try to entice Republicans into joining with them to “fix” the law, thereby making the disaster bipartisan. Things are only going to get worse, as tens of millions lose their existing health insurance and a large majority of Americans, in both the employer-sponsored market and the individual/small group market, find that the cost of health insurance is rising.
Last night a businessman just returned from China told me that demand is down in Chinese factories because American retailers are cutting back on orders. The reason: middle-class Americans have figured out that their health care bills are going up under Obamacare, and they are cutting back on other spending. The time is not far off when Barack Obama yearns for the days when he had a 37% approval rating.

ADDENDUM II: Rush had more than enough to say about these approval/disapproval numbers...
"This is all on Obama. People aren’t feeling this way because they’ve been told. Here’s the thing, folks. This is why this matters. You and I know that George W. Bush approval number, 36, 37% took the media four years to get it there. The George W. Bush approval number was the result of four years of relentless, unstoppable media pounding. The media drove that approval number of George Bush down to 36%. The media did not drive this down. Obama’s 37% approval is all on Obama.
The media has been trying to protect Obama. The media has been trying to shield Obama. Several in the Republican establishment in the so-called conservative media have even been trying to shield Obama. And while all of that has gone on, the approval number, 37%, is real, and it happened within a year. And this is a major, fundamental difference. This is real."
Then referencing a piece from TheHill, Rush says believe it or not, the Democrats are 'terrified' that people are no longer buying it, that frustration is growing, and that these are the results of at least one truth coming out...
