Barack Obama’s approval ratings in record freefall – this is becoming seriously enjoyable. We were always told Barack Obama would do something spectacular, that he would shatter previous presidential records – and now he has. The One has recorded the sharpest slump in popularity rating of any US president at this stage in office for 50 years. Nor is that figure just a snapshot of a bad week: it reflects his average daily approval rating for the past quarter of the year – running at 53 per cent. Considering it stood at 78 per cent last January, that is impressive work.
Things are not looking good for Kenya’s favourite son, or for America under his stewardship. It is a shame about America, but as for the Chicago wide boy getting his come-uppance, he cannot fall hard enough or fast enough.
