Politico – More people disapprove than approve of the way President Obama is handling immigration and guns, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University.
Fifty percent don’t like the way he is handling immigration policy, compared with 40 percent who do, the poll found. That negative rating is due in large part to independents, 55 percent of whom disapprove of his handling of the issue. Only 34 percent approve.
