Poll: Obama gets negative ratings on immigration, guns

by Donovan Slack

More people disapprove than approve of the way President Obama is handling immigration and guns, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University.

Fifty percent don't like the way he is handing immigration policy, compared to 40 percent who do, the poll found. That negative rating is due in large part to independents, 55 percent of whom disapprove of his handling of the issue. Only 34 percent approve.

On gun policy, some 52 percent disapprove of his approach, while 41 percent approve. That could be due in part to the loss in the Senate of the gun-control proposal he pushed for expanded background checks for gun buyers.

He generally gets good marks on foreign policy in the poll -- 47 percent approve of his overall approach to foreign policy, 54 percent approve of his handling of North Korea, and 55 percent approving of his handling of terrorism. On his handling of Syria, voters are basically split, with 37 percent approving and 35 percent disapproving.

His overall job approval has remained relatively stable with 48 percent approving and 45 percent disapproving, compared to 49 percent approving and 45 percent disapproving a month earlier, Quinnipiac found.

But a growing majority are dissatisfied with the direction of the country – 72 percent. That's up from 69 percent a month earlier. Only 27 percent are satisfied, down from 30 percent last month.

Quinnipiac surveyed 1,471 registered voters between April 25 and 29. The margin of error is +/- 2.6 percentage points.

It includes decades-old footage of National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks. LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales.
