How much more can people take?
47 percent worry at least somewhat about losing a job, up from 28 percent in February 2008.
71 percent say they know someone who has lost a job in the past six months because of the economy.
65 percent are at least somewhat worried about paying their bills.
53 percent aren’t confident they’ll have enough money to live comfortably in retirement.
69 percent worry that the value of their stocks and retirement investments will drop.
Two days shy of a full month as president, Obama’s approval rating stood at 67 percent, down from 74 percent during his inauguration.
