Why is President Obama so unpopular ?
| 10:10 UK time, Friday, 16 July 2010
According to the latest polls, 51 per cent of Americans would like to see a Republican Congress elected in November - and just 13 per cent say the President's economic plan has helped them personally.
A Washington Post/ABC News poll found 6 in ten Americans lacked faith in Mr Obama's ability to make for the country.
44 per cent of Americans of his handling of the war in Afghanistan.
And one other stat : 73 per cent stance on banning deepwater oil drilling in reponse to the BP disaster.
So what's going on ? Ok, the picture above was put up by a few Tea Party activists and had to be taken down, but why has Obama lost ground with "average" Americans ?
This survey, just last month, showed that Mr Obama is broadly popular around the world, but not, it appears as popular in his .
Some blame the global recession, others the amazingly high hopes invested in him.
Has your opinion of the U.S President changed ?
