• Tweet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. President Obama, crisscrossing the country to stump for Democratic candidates, has the lowest approval rating of his presidency, Harris Poll reports.

Results of the Harris Interactive survey released Monday indicate 63 percent of Americans have a negative opinion of the job Obama is doing while 37 percent have a positive opinion.

Harris said the 37 percent of people who approve of Obama's job is the lowest of his presidency so far.

The president's approval ratings may be low, but Congress's approval rating is even worse, Harris Poll said. Only 11 percent of Americans give Congress positive ratings for the job it is doing while 89 percent gave Congress negative marks.

Results are based on online surveys of 3,084 people Oct. 11-18. Harris Interactive did not provide a margin of error.
