Obama Not on Track to Meet 2009 Deficit Reduction Pledge, Budget Review Shows
Published September 05, 2011

President Obama didn't just find religion on deficit reduction during the debt-ceiling debate. He claimed to be making it a priority after just one month in office. Upon signing the stimulus bill, the president in February 2009 vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his term.

But budget numbers released by the White House last week suggest he is not on track to meet that goal -- by a long shot.

The Obama administration in early 2009 called for bringing down the deficit to about $530 billion in four years.

The latest official budget review projected the deficit would hit $1.3 trillion this year and fall to $956 billion in fiscal 2012, which ends next September. Obama's first term wouldn't be up until January 2013, but the review still forecast a $648 billion deficit for the entirety of 2013.

Republicans were quick to point this out over the past few days, as they hammered Obama over the combination of a dismal jobs report released Friday and the latest deficit numbers.

House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said the review shows the president is "not on pace" to meet his pledge.

Obama hits all-time lows, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll
President 'is no longer the favorite to win re-election,' Democratic pollster says

When Barack Obama unveils his jobs and economic plan to a joint session of Congress on Thursday, he'll do so at the lowest point of his presidency, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

After the bruising debt-ceiling fight — as well as Standard & Poor's subsequent downgrade of the nation's credit rating — Obama's job approval rating has sunk to a low of 44 percent, a 3-point drop since July. His handling of the economy stands at a low of 37 percent. And only 19 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction, the lowest mark for this president.

Perhaps most ominously for Obama, a majority of poll takers — 54 percent — think he's facing a longer-term setback from which he's unlikely to recover. Back in January, just 39 percent agreed with that assessment.

Indeed, that 54 percent is virtually identical to George W. Bush's score on the same question in the Nov. 2005 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which was released just months after Bush's widely criticized handling of Hurricane Katrina.

Silver linings for Obama

Yet Obama, in particular, took a gut punch. According to the poll, just 42 percent give the president high marks for possessing strong leadership qualities. That’s a 12-point drop from May (in the days following Osama bin Laden’s death).

In addition, his high marks for being a good commander in chief have plunged 10 points (from 51 percent in May to his current 41 percent rating); his high marks for having the ability to handle a crisis have dropped 14 points (from 53 percent to 39 percent); and his high marks for achieving his goals have declined another 14 points (from 41 percent to 27 percent).
