(THE EXPRESS).A YEAR after his election was heralded as the start of a bright new era, President Barack Obama’s popularity rating is at an all-time low.
Yesterday he urged Americans to be patient over the economy and was forced to defend his trip to the Far East after heavy criticism that he had failed to make any trade agreements.
With US unemployment levels at a generational high of 10.2 per cent, he said in his weekly address to the nation: “Even though it will take time, I can promise you this, we are moving in the right direction. The steps we are taking are helping.”
One source close to the President said he was highly aware that the public was getting impatient and wanted to see him deliver on a single policy or promise.
On Sunday a Gallup poll showed Obama’s job approval rating had dropped to 48 per cent, the first time it has fallen below 50 percent was on Friday to 49%.
