For the same reasons that Bush didn't and Clinton didn't. Even Reagan's popularity was slipping in the 6th year.
By the 6th year, very few Presidents remain as popular as when they were re-elected 2 years earlier.
The 6th year always seems to be the one when the chickens come home to roost, whatever the chickens are.
Most Presidents are up to their eyeballs in something by the 6th year.
November 4, 2014 may well be one evening of PAIN for Democrats.
The poll was of select states and select potentially competitive districts. Without doing the math on each district it seems like they lean a bit more Republican than the nation as a whole, so it would make sense that the disapproval is higher than most other polling.
#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.
#9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn’t.
#8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
#6. I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.
#5. I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy and get sex change operations if they want one on the tax payers dime.
#4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.
#3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.
#2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
…And the #1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay $billions$ for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish here in America. We don't care about the beetles, gophers or fish in those other countries.

Dont you love hyperbole.

4% oil profits = half a trillion dollars. And im pretty sure people would be just as pissed about that 15% as they are about the 4% if it was highlighted, but you seem not to be pissed about either.

If you arent a billionaire, the most you paid for collectively is jack squat. However, i dont have the cash to rent a saw to cut down the tree that fell on my road after the last round of floods. The government does.
Do they always spend money wisely, no, but that doesnt mean the government cant do good.

Freedom of speech is also about the response you give. I have just as much a right to be offended by what you say as you do about what i say.

there is that hyperbole again, so caught up in partisan bickering that you dont even acknowledge that Democrats own guns too. Saying that we should keep guns away from criminals is not the same as saying people shouldnt own guns.

Actually democrats support condoms and birth control so that people who dont want babies dont have them.

This one doesnt even make sense.

I have yet to see a Republican who wanted to eliminate all taxes.

Pretty sure gay marriage has won on the ballot.

The worst part about being a Southern Democrat is watching all the Republicans attack Barack Obama on lax regulations after the BP Oil spill.
Nothing like watching Republicans get on TV and tell regulators that they should have did their jobs.
