At the end of 2009, Barack Obama's first year approval polls came out. According to a Fox News poll, 50% of American's approve of Barack Obama's job as president, while 42% don't agree with how he is doing his job. Almost 2 out of 3 people are in some way dissatisfied with how things are going in the United States today. Obama's ratings are holding steady as the year has gone. At the beginning of the year he had 65% approval rating, and it has steadily dropped, but that is kind of expected as a first year president. The honeymoon with the people is over.

My Opinion: Bush's ratings were about the same, and people were always saying how low his was. Obama isn't doing too bad of a job for those who agree with him, and a 50% approval rating is about what I would expect from Mr. Obama.
