John Zogby's Obama Weekly Report Card is Featured in Paul Bedard's "Washington Secrets" Published weekly in The Washington Examiner
This week's grade: C
Never one to play to the crowd, this fiercely independent pollster/pundit seeks to annoy all stripes this week. It was a mixed bag for President Obama this week. The U.S. was seriously 'dissed by two major powers -- China and Russia -- and the president chided them for not playing by the rules. But what is left for the world's remaining superpower to do? Go to war against Jupiter and Saturn (China and Russia) when we couldn't even make a dent in Pluto and Mercury (Iraq and Afghanistan)?

President Obama has coined the term 'leading from behind'. Your humble pollster suggests that he is "falling behind in leading from behind" as things are getting out of control. After months of dithering, the U.S. has decided to arm the rebels in Syria, but this comes at a time when the Assad regime is in the ascendancy. (Sort of like Paul Revere screaming, 'The British were here. The British were here.')

Summer is here and it is time for scandals in Washington. And there are some doozies. Despite President Obama's efforts to finesse the issue and tell Americans they have nothing to worry about, the National Security Agency invasion of privacy issue is in the forefront, stalling the president's agenda. Polling shows that Americans are willing to trade off privacy for security, but it also shows that Obama's approval ratings are sliding a bit to the mid-40 percent level. I am willing to admit that my polling still shows the president at 52 percent approval and is the outlier. But he is back up to waist deep in scandal.

New polls just out show President Obama losing some of the public trust he once had. Overall public support is down a few points, once again into the high 40s -- the wrong side of a majority but nowhere near the numbers of really troubled presidents: Truman (23 percent), Nixon (23 percent), Carter (26 percent), George W. Bush (21 percent). Unemployment numbers tick as do employment numbers. And consumer confidence is gaining a little. The IRS has replaced Wall Street, oil companies, and pollsters on the bottom rung of the food chain. And revelations about the NSA knowing all, seeing all, and hearing all about all of us may just unite liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and socialists. This is the one to watch. So I downgrade the president this past week because events are getting ahead of him again.
