Poll: Obama a nice guy, but a lousy president

A new survey by Pew Research Center finds Obama's job approval at 44 percent going into the November 2012 election.

While most respondents say Obama is a likeable person, he does not appear to be up the task of president.

From the Pew Survey:

Obama's job approval rating stands at 44%. George W. Bush began his reelection year with a 56% job approval rating; Bill Clinton's approval rating was 50% in January 1996. Obama's current mark is closer to George H. W. Bush's in January 1992 (46% approved).
