US President’s Job Approval Rating Falls To Record Low Of 46%
The job approval rating of US President Barack Obama has fallen to an all-time low amid growing uncertainties over his
ability to push healthcare reforms, the centrepiece of his home plans, through Congress.
According to a new Gallup review, Barack's approval rating dropped to 47%, which was 69% during the early days of his presidential term.
His recognition among Democrat followers came down because of questions regarding his capability to pass healthcare reforms, whereas independents and Republicans think it to be a high-priced government scheme.
US president was supposed to leave for Guam, Indonesia and Australia this week. Obama had spent four years as a boy in Indonesia, which was supposed to be the highlight of the trip.
But with the viewpoint of healthcare change currently in a grave condition the White House has decided Obama has to stay in Washington to twist arms in Congress.
A likely goal will be up to 12 Democrats who say they will not support the planned bill as it doesn't put a stop to federal funds being used for abortions.
As per the report, Barack Obama will also make his case at further town hall conferences with the intention of ramping up public support and increasing the pressure on inflexible Democrats.
Obama's plans would extend coverage to 30 million uninsured US residents, financed by slowing the growth of government-run healthcare for the elderly and raising some taxes. (With Input from Agencies)
