| Obama's job approval rating drops below 50 pct

US President Barack Obama's job approval rating has dipped below the 50 per cent mark, the first time after he was sworn in January this year.
The latest Gallup Daily tracking results, released yesterday said that 49 per cent of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing as the President, putting him below the majority approval level for the first time in his presidency.
Gallup said the ongoing, contentious debate over national healthcare reform and the continued economic crisis are the possible reasons for the drop in his popularity ratings.
Although the current decline below 50 per cent has symbolic significance, most of the recent decline in support for Obama occurred in July and August.
He began July at 60 per cent approval.
Of the post-World War II presidents, Obama is the fourth fastest to drop below the majority approval level, doing so in his 10th month on the job.
