Islamabad—Following sharp decline in his popularity at home, the Democrats have decided to dump President Barak Obama and to elevate Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the next US elections.
According to Gallup public opinion polls, Obama's approval ratings have sunk to a new low, dropping to 39 per cent. Disapproval hiked to 54 per cent. There are many factors behind this fall from the grace. A large number of Democrats disapproved his debt deal with the rival Republicans. Additionally, the Republicans have put strong contenders for the presidency who are actively criticizing Obama's performance.
The very real drag on his approval is the economy. He managed it badly in a recession period. Therefore, it remains sluggish in the absence of creativity and due to a weak president who has given everyone the impression that he is confused and short of ideas.
Obama is just 15 months from a defeat or a second term. He is left with a very little time to reverse his numbers especially the challenges are rapidly increasing. The latest of the mess in which America has landed is that the Obama administration is unable to pay the salaries of the US troops stationed in Afghanistan.
The US-led NATO operations in Libya is facing tough resistance, prompting the NATO to demand from the Libya rebels $1000 billions to continue attacks against the Libyan infrastructure. The American troops are demoralized in Iraq, Afghanistan and over 1000 military bases around the world.
If his popularity continues to fall by early next year, the Democrats might completely dump him and promote Hillary Clinton.
Disappointed American women who campaigned hard for the nomination of Hillary Clinton feel utterly dejected. They believed that had Hillary Clinton been elected US President, she would have done a better job than Obama. Gallup Poll puts Clinton's favorability with the American people at 66 percent. Moreover, with the growing possibility that a woman- Michele Bachman- could be on the Republican ticket for president or vice president slot, Clinton could provide a formidable counter that an all-male ticket would not.
