Obama continues to lose popularity: Poll
Local Editor, 09-02-2010
A new poll has revealed that American President Barack Obama's approval ratings continue to slump.
According to a new Marist University poll, 47% of registered voters disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President.
That is the worst rating the president has achieved since he took office last year, Pollster.com revealed.
"The most noted shift may be among independents, of whom 57 percent said they disapprove of Obama's job performance and 29 percent say they approve. Those numbers are virtually the inverse of independents' view of the president in Marist's April 8, 2009 poll, which found independents approving of Obama, 53-28," The Hill reported.
Hotline's On Call Blog has more on the Marist Poll:
Voters are disappointed in what they got with Obama's first year. The poll shows 47% believe Obama has failed to meet their expectations -- including a quarter of Dems, 65% of GOPers and 53% of indie voters -- while just 42% say he has met their expectations. 38% say Obama's policies are moving the country in the wrong direction, while 37% say they're making the country better.
