   About six in ten American voters think Barack Obama lies to the   
   country on important matters some or most of the time, according   
   to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.   
      
   Thirty-seven percent think Obama lies “most of the time,” while   
   another 24 percent say he lies “some of the time.” Twenty   
   percent of voters say “only now and then” and 15 percent “never.”   
      
   President Obama has been accused by political opponents and   
   media fact-checkers alike of telling falsehoods.  Frequently   
   cited: His repeated claim that under Obamacare “If you like your   
   plan, you can keep it” and his insistence that “the day after   
   Benghazi happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of   
   terrorism.”   
      
   The number of voters saying Obama lies “most of the time”   
   includes 13 percent of Democrats.  It also includes 12 percent   
   of blacks, 16 percent of liberals, 31 percent of unmarried women   
   and 34 percent of those under age 30 -- all key Obama   
   constituencies.   
      
   Yet some of those groups are also among those most likely to say   
   Obama “never” lies to the country on important matters: blacks   
   (37 percent), Democrats (31 percent), liberals (28 percent) and   
   women (19 percent).   
      
   The poll also asks about the trustworthiness of a few possible   
   2016 presidential candidates.  For comparison, about half of   
   voters think former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton (54 percent)   
   and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (49 percent) are honest and   
   trustworthy, while fewer think the same of New Jersey Gov. Chris   
   Christie (41 percent).   
      
   On a more positive note for the White House, Obama’s overall job   
   performance rating has improved.  The new poll finds that 42   
   percent of voters approve of the job he’s doing, while 51   
   percent disapprove.  That means he’s underwater by nine   
   percentage points.   
      
   Last month the president was in negative territory by 13 points   
   with a 40-53 percent rating (March 23-25).   
      
   Approval of the president is up six points among independents   
   and now stands at 32 percent.  Obama was near record-low   
   approval among independents last month (26 percent).  He also   
   improved four points among Democrats and now stands at 80   
   percent among his party faithful.   
      
   How voters feel about Obama as a person closely matches his job   
   ratings:  45 percent have a favorable opinion of him, while 51   
   percent have an unfavorable view.  A year ago those numbers were   
   reversed: 52 percent favorable, 46 percent unfavorable (April   
   2013).   
      
   The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews   
   with 1,012 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was   
   conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research   
   (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from April 13-15, 2014. The   
   full poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three   
   percentage points.   
      
   Just call him what he is, a lying Democrat.
