Popularity of Obama slides below 50% for first time: poll
WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has dipped below 50 percent nationally for the first time, as Americans worry about the war in Afghanistan, a poll released on Wednesday found. The Quinnipiac University poll showed 48 percent of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president, compared to 42 percent who disapprove. Obama also scored low marks from Americans on his handling of the situation in Afghanistan, with just 38 percent saying they approved of his approach, but a majority did say it was the “right thing” for US troops to be in the country. The poll showed Americans favour, by a small margin, the dispatch of US troops reinforcements to Afghanistan, with 47 percent saying Obama should approve the increase, compared to 42 percent who opposed it. afp
