By initiating reform of the health care system, President Obama has taken a lot of criticism on both sides of the political aisle, but mainly from conservatives and Republicans. Because of his undertaking in such a controversial and large entity like health care, his approval rating has taken a hit, and a new poll conducted by Fox News reveals this.
According to this poll by Fox News, if the 2012 Presidential Election were held today, only 43% of the country would vote for President Obama, a stunning percentage for a president that has only been in office for a little over 9 months. The poll also shows that only 49 percent of the country approves of the job he is doing and only 42 percent approve of the work that he is doing on the health care field.
These low approval and re-election numbers, although very early in his presidency, can be pinned to his aggressive attempted reform of the health care industry. Although we don't know what the future holds for these reforms, we can tell now that his popularity has plummeted due to these changes he is trying to make.
