"SNIP....................

Voters are concerned about the recent “scandals” surrounding the Obama administration, but they remain far more concerned about the economy, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University.

By a 73 to 22 percent margin, voters think the economy and unemployment should be a higher priority than investigating issues including Benghazi, the IRS focus on conservative groups and the Department of Justice’s subpoenas of reporters’ phone records. Only 24 percent of independents and 34 percent of Republicans want investigations to be given precedence over job creation.

The president’s job approval is down to 44 percent from 48 percent on May 1 of this year, 20 percent higher than the job approval of Republicans in Congress, at 24 percent. His trustworthiness has also been affected, with 49 percent saying he’s honest and trustworthy, down from 58 percent at the beginning of this month.

This suggests that the public does think there is some merit to the Republican accusations of scandal. And these allegations are particularly affecting Attorney General Eric Holder, whose job approval rating is down to 23 percent, with 39 percent disapproving.

And the republicans tried, but the economy is improving despite the republican efforts.
