The worsening social and economic situation in the United States and the “total disarray” of the country’s foreign policy have led many Americans to consider Barack Obama to be the worst president since 1945, a political commentator in Detroit says.
In a survey released Wednesday by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, 33 percent of registered US voters named Obama as the worst president since World War II, while 28 percent mentioned his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst.
The poll also found that 53 percent of voters disapprove of the job Obama is doing, compared with 40 percent who approve. Fifty-four percent of voters say the Obama administration is not competent at running the government.
“Considering the overall worsening social and economic conditions inside the United States and the total disarray of US foreign policy in this period, many people feel this is the worst of times,” said Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire.
“But if you look back to the post-World War II period, all presidents have faced similar challenges and none of them have been able to eradicate the current socio-economic crises in the United States,” Azikiwe told Press TV on Wednesday.
According to the Quinnipiac poll, Obama gets negative grades for his handling of most key issues, including the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and terrorism. The survey comes as Obama in recent weeks has found his popularity at the lowest levels of his presidency.
The survey, conducted June 24-30 with 1,446 registered voters, showed that 35 percent of voters believe the economy and unemployment are the most important problems facing the country today, while 12 percent believe the political system is the biggest problem.
