Poll after poll has charted President Obama's dipping approval rating in recent months, but Wednesday brought perhaps the cruelest cut to date: A new Quinnipiac University survey found that voters rate Mr. Obama as the country's worst president since World War II.With Mr. Obama deploying troops to Iraq, failing to find compromise with Congress and seeing major defeats in the Supreme Court, voters continue to sour on him. The new poll also revealed that more voters now say GOP nominee Mitt Romney would have been a better choice in 2012.Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney had been elected, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren't so sure - just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.Voters also rated the man who swept into office in 2009 with a promise of "hope and change" as worse than even his predecessor, Republican President George W. Bush, who left office with terrible approval ratings."Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Worst Since WWII?
