イギリスのＴｅｌｅｇｒａｐｈより：http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/6409721/Barack-Obama-sees-worst-poll-rating-drop-in-50-years.html#

 

The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

 

Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April.

 

His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78 per cent approval rating.

 

11月に州知事選挙がオバマ氏が大統領選挙で勝利したニュージャージー州とバージニア州で行われる。バージニア州ではすでに勝利は共和党に行くとされている。両方の知事選挙に負けるとなると医療改革法案などが止まるのでは？
