PRINCETON, NJ -- President Obama's job approval rating is at a new low, averaging 40% in July 26-28 Gallup Daily tracking. His prior low rating of 41% occurred several times, the last of which was in April. As recently as June 7, Obama had 50% job approval.
Implications
The inability of U.S. lawmakers to agree on the debt ceiling has apparently shaken Americans' confidence in the economy and now seems to be taking its toll on the president's public support, with Obama's approval rating at a new low. As the debt ceiling talks drag on, his ratings, as well as those of Congress (last measured at 18% in early July), could decline further. By the same token, if an agreement is reached, it could restore some degree of public confidence in U.S. political leaders and in the economy.

Well it's great to see people FINALLY coming to their senses about the worst president in American history Barack Hussein Obama.
In the first 19 months of the Obama administration, the federal debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.

I am now ashamed to be American because I voted for hope and change, not politics as usual.
I can't wait for the obama nightmare to end, and I just pray we can recover as soon as he is thrown out of office or impeached

I am so glad you pointed that out, because Ronald Reagan increased the debt by abour $2.4 trilllion himself.

That is an interesting trend. You have it said, "the President of the United States has run up more debt than all presidents combined before him!" post Carter (heck, I think the same was said aboutr Carter to) outside of Clinton. It is like clockwork. I would say it is more of a sign of a bigger picture than a particular president.

I'd say its been like clockwork since Nixon that our spending has been out of control. It really all started with LBJ's massive increase in welfare/entitlement spending via the "Great Society". The issue is that Obama and Clinton have been the outliers since then - Clinton in the obviously good way, and Obama in the obviously bad way. The house/senate/president have accelerated the insanity since 2007-8. Obama has increased the spending faster and maintained it longer than anyone else since FDR.... You can't deny that he's done that given all the data out there.
It shouldn't absolve the guild from anyone else involved - Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George HW Bush, and George W Bush - but he has brought it to a pinnacle of absurdity as of late.
As for the blame - I think it'll hurt everyone. Obama is pretty much screwed for re-election now. Remember that our government is controlled 2/3rds by the Dems, so even if the blame is equal, they will pay a greater cost.
