In the poll, 52 percent of California voters approved of the job the president was doing. Calif. poll: Obama approval falls

President Barack Obama’s approval in blue state California is approaching it’s lowest-ever mark in a new poll, with a 10-point drop since earlier this year.

In a Field Poll released Tuesday, 52 percent of California voters approved of the job the president was doing. In a February Field Poll, that number was 62 percent. In the Tuesday survey, 35 percent disapproved.


The number is tied for the third-lowest approval rating Obama has measured in the poll, a dip approaching his 46 percent rating in September 2011 and 48 percent in November 2011, since which his approval had been steadily climbing.

The drop is also seen in Obama’s core constituencies: Approval dropped 14 points among Democrats since February, to 74 percent; 15 points among women, to 53 percent; and 14 points among voters aged 18-39, to 57 percent.

Field Poll surveyed 846 registered voters in California between June 26 and July 21 by phone. The poll has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.
