Charles Dharapak/APPresident Obama's approval ratings hit a new low Tuesday, a new poll shows, as dissatisfaction with the White House's handling of the economy grows.
Obama's job approval dropped to 41% in March from 43% in January, a Wall Street Journal / NBC poll found.

Another 54% of respondents said they disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President.
Many of those polled pointed to an inconsistent economic recovery as a primary reason for their discontentment.

Nearly two-thirds of those polled said the country was on the wrong track, with only 25% saying they thought the economy would improve this year.

But as discouraging as the poll, conducted among 1,000 adults March 5-9, was for Democrats, it found dismal approval ratings for Republicans as well.
Nearly half of respondents (45%) said they viewed the GOP negatively, while only 27% said they had positive views of the party.
