Obama's approval rating falls 15 pointsTue, 27 Jan 2009 19:20:23 GMT
Obama faces great challenges that peril his high approval rating.
US president Barack Obama's approval rating plunges 15 points from the original 83 percent in the first week of his tenure, a new poll finds.
The Gallup polling firm which tracks president's approval/disapproval rating every day, says Obama began his administration with a 68 percent 'approval' rating.
Despite a 15% drop, Obama still maintains good ratings falling only second behind John F. Kennedy, who had 72% approval rating on Feb. 15, 1961.
Eisenhower equaled Obama's approval at 68%. Since Kennedy, Carter started with 66%, Reagan 51%, George H.W. Bush 51%, Clinton 58%, and George W. Bush 57%.
Gallup notes: It "did not measure those three presidents' initial ratings until early February, and new presidents' approval ratings typically increase in the first few months of their presidencies. Thus, Obama's initial approval rating of 68% looks more impressive compared to the average 55% approval rating for the four presidents whose first ratings were measured in January after their inaugurations."
Faced with a sharp downturn in economy and a deepening recession that has left many Americans jobless, president Obama is challenging hard to get his USD 825 billion stimulus plan passed by the Senate. The opposition, mainly Republican, has called his plan "as a lot of wasteful Washington spending, padding the bureaucracy and doing nothing to help create jobs and preserve jobs."
With two many layoffs on a daily basis, a daunting healthcare system and absence of insurance for millions of Americans, the African-American president faces many ups and downs that challenge his once stratospheric approval ratings.
