Barack Obama can’t even get a majority of voters in his home state to approve of the job he’s doing. According to the latest poll from Public Policy Polling, just 44% approve of his job performance while 49% express their disapproval.

Obama’s home state approval numbers had before avoided some of the trends dragging down his numbers in other states but that’s no longer the case. Independents strongly disapprove of him with just 35% feeling he’s doing a good job to 57% unhappy.

12% of Illinois Democrats disapprove of Obama’s job performance, while just 3% of Illinois Republicans approve. But it’s the aforementioned Independent numbers that are most troubling for Democrats. 57% of Independents angry with the leader of your party doesn’t bode well for a midterm election.
