32% rate Obama a very weak leader

There is not much good news in the latest The Economist/YouGov Poll for Barack Obama or congressional Democrats. For example 23% of respondents rate Obamacare as a complete failure, another rate it more of a failure than a success while only 4% call it a complete success. Only 4% have a very favorable opinion of John Boehner which is better than Mitch McConnell's 3%. Harry Reid gets 8% and Nancy Pelosi tops the list at 10% but also has the highest very unfavorable rating at 37%.
In the list of probable presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren beats all Republicans with a very favorable rating of 15%, Hillary of course tops the list with 27% while Rick Perry and Ted Cruz tie at 13% to lead the GOP field.
Only 10 % give Obama a strongly approve score on immigration. It is his weakest area. A surprise is how few people think he has done a good job on Social Security. Only 11% strongly approve of his handling of SS while 45% either disapprove or strongly disapprove. This may not bode well for Democrats next month when an older electorate goes to the polls.
A full 32% think Obama is a very weak leader with another 24% thinking he is merely weak. And he tells people what he thinks they want to hear, That is the opinion of 49% while 37% think he says what he be lives. The poll did not ask if that meant he has come to believe his own bullshit.
