President Barack Obama's approval rating dropped 8 percentage points over the last month, and for the first time in his presidency more than half of the public doesn't feel that the president is honest and trustworthy, a new CNN/ORC International poll shows.

A sharp 17-point drop among Americans under 30 fueled the drop in Obama's approval rating.

The poll was conducted as the White House has been under siege over telephone and Internet surveillance, the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups, its handling of the terror attack on the U.S. Consular post in Benghazi, Libya, and the Justice Department's collecting journalists" phone records as part of the government's investigation into leaks of classified information.

The Election of a Black President Has Meant Nothing
By Dennis Prager

The greatest hope most Americans -- including Republicans -- had when Barack Obama was elected president was that the election of a black person as the country's president would reduce, if not come close to eliminating, the racial tensions that have plagued America for generations.

This has not happened. The election, and even the re-election, of a black man as president, in a country that is 87 percent non-black -- a first in human history -- has had no impact on what are called "Racial tensions." Ref. Source 5
