On Tuesday, NBC left it to CBS to report its own poll showing a significant drop in President Obama’s overall approval rating and specifically regarding his handling of terrorism. CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King covered the numbers from the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: “43% approve of Americans approve of the job that he's doing, and that’s the lowest number in more than a year. But 60% disapprove of the way that he’s handling the current situation with ISIS.”
The headline on screen declared: “Obama Approval Plummets; Latest Poll Shows Lowest Numbers Since Last Fall.” King turned to a report from correspondent Margaret Brennan “at the White House with how the President’s tough talk follows criticism that his strategy is soft.”
