Notwithstanding high marks for his just announced Af-Pak policy, the approval rating of the US President Barack Obama has dropped below the 50 per cent mark, the first time since he entered the White House.
Showing a drop of seven points from a survey last month, the CNN/Opinion Research Corp national survey said only 48 per cent of the respondents approved the job of Obama as the US President; while 50 per cent disapproved it.
"The poll indicates that the biggest drop in approval comes from noncollege-educated white voters," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.
"That's one indication among many that Obama's growing unpopularity may be more related to unemployment and the poor economy" than to factors such as his strategy for Afghanistan.
The poll was conducted Wednesday and Thursday after Obama announced his Afghan policy on Tuesday.
