A new CNN/Opinion Research poll finds President Obama with a 64% approval rating (March 12-15, 1019 A), down 3 points from mid-February. His 34% disapproval has increased 5 points to 34%.

On the economy, Obama's approval rating dips to 59%, with 40% disapproving. Asked whose policies they would blame if the economy doesn't improve over the next year, 54% said Bush 43 and the Republicans, and 32% said Obama and the Democrats.

The same question was asked in May 1993, and an equal number (39%) said Bush 41 and the Republicans and Clinton and the Democrats.
