Unit 4
A recent poll has shown significant dropping in Obama's approval ratings in different areas of the presidency. Only four out of ten people think that Obama can run the federal government effectively. 53% of Americans think that the president is dishonest. 56% of people said that the president is not a person they admire, he doesn't agree with them on important issues, and that he doesn't inspire confidence. These statistics are largely a result of the struggling start of Obamacare and partly because of the recent government shutdown. His best areas in this recent poll is that 60% of Americans think that he has a vision for future America and 70% think that he is still likable.
Honestly, I feel bad for Obama. I'm on the side that generally is not good for Obama, but I think that constantly being analyzed on your performance by all of America would be very hard. Part of the reason his statistics are dropping are not even his fault. The rollout of the Obamacare website is hardly even the president's fault. Despite that, I still disagree with many of Obama's decisions and viewpoints. I'm not going to go into detail about all of my differing viewpoints, but I can say that I think that the president could be doing a better job.
