Media Reports Obama News Conference Sans Teleprompter: Not Really

Zogby, March 24: Obama Drops Below 50%

In an article on the Zogby Web site, President Barack Obama's ratings for job performance and favorability did not improve over earlier this month.

In the most recent survey, 49% rate his job performance as excellent or good and 50% as fair or poor (less than 1% were not sure.)

That is a dip of three points from the previous poll. The percentages who feel very or somewhat favorable toward Obama remained unchanged between the two polls, with 55% now and 56% in the previous poll.
