"Fifty-seven percent of Democrats say the country is better off today, down from 81 percent who felt that way in 2012."

Fox News poll: Obama's approval hits new low | Fox News (registered voters)

Why do you think it is it down to 57 percent from 81 percent since 2012 among Democrats? Is it one main issue or a few of them? What happened between 2012 and now that has much fewer Democrats thinking the country is better off than it was.

Keep in mind Obama's approval rating is 71 percent among Democrats -- much higher than the 57 percent who think the country is better off today.

They were hoping for more free money... They didn't get any.... There are still those who think they will get some in 2014, hence the 57 percent....

I don't know, but would like to point out Bush's numbers were in the 30s in this time of his term.

Oh yes, I work 60 hours a week just so I could get free money. The dozen guys who work under me work tirelessly just so they could receive free money also.

I stipulated that this was Democrats only percentages and Obama's approval ratings were higher.

Its down because people were told the economy was improving, things were getting better, and years later, we're still blaming Bush for its non recovery.

Seems many Dems still have their blinders on.
