A majority of Iowans now disapprove of the man they twice elected president, according to a new poll.
With President Barack Obama facing several recent controversies, 54 percent of Iowans disapprove of the job he’s doing — his worst rating in the state during his time in office, a Des Moines Register poll shows.

(The poll was conducted before the recent National Security Agency surveillance program revelations.)

Obama’s approval rating in Iowa has been steadily declining, from 51 percent in the fall to 49 percent in February. Today’s poll showed a sharp 8 percentage point drop, down to a 41 percent approval rating.
Obama’s 2008 Democratic primary win over Hillary Clinton in Iowa helped launch his first presidential run, and he handily won the state in the general elections of 2008 and 2012.
