More than half of the people that responded to a new poll in the United States disapprove of President Barack Obama’s job performance.
The Gallup poll tracked Obama’s disapproval rating at 51 percent – a new high. The poll shows that only 42 percent approved of Obama’s performance in the White House.
Gallup says that U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter all experienced job approval numbers as low or lower in the Augusts of their second years in office, noting that such ratings are typical of tough economic times. The official U.S. unemployment rate has been stuck at 9.5 percent since June and is expected to worsen this fall.
Obama’s approval rating was at 46 percent and his disapproval rating at 47 percent on August 9th. By Friday of last week, Gallup found that his three-day approval rating had slipped to 43 percent and his disapproval rating had climbed to 48 percent.
Gallup�s editor-in-chief said that may be due to the controversial issue of the Mosque near Ground Zero.
The tracking poll is a rolling average of 1,500 Americans surveyed over a three-day period, with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
