Barack Obama’s approval rating continues to fall

Barack Obama’s approval rating continues to fall. According to the most recent Gallup poll, just 48% of Americans approve of the President’s performance, while 44% disapprove. I have a feeling this trend will continue for some time.

The health care debate will begin in the Senate this week, and there has been talk about starting work on comprehensive immigration reform in January. Both of these bills have the potential to further erode the President’s approval ratings. Think about it: The unemployment rate is over 10%, and we have a health care bill that will increase expenses for businesses, and an immigration bill that will probably include amnesty for illegal aliens who are taking American jobs. How do you think those bills will sit with those who are unemployed, or struggling to make ends meet?
