Voters are evenly divided at 46 percent on whether they approve or disapprove of the way President Obama is doing his job as president, according to a Fox News poll taken Nov. 17-18.
Fox said 46 percent marked a low point in Obama's approval since taking office, which has averaged 56 percent. The high point for his approval in a Fox News poll came a week after his inauguration when it was 65 percent.
Low point or not, the president is better at his job than Congress, which has an approval rating of 26 percent and disapproval of 63 percent, according to the Fox poll.
At 63 percent, first lady Michelle Obama has a higher overall approval rating than the president who's at 54 percent.
The poll also found that voters are considerably less happy with Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's overall favorable rating is 28 percent, while her unfavorable is 50 percent.
And in a generic ballot question, asking whether they would vote for a Democrat or a Republican for Congress next year, 39 percent said they would vote for the Democrat, and 42 percent said they would vote for a Republican.
The poll was based on telephone interviews with 900 registered voters nationwide and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
