Poll: Obama Approval Rating At 62 Percent
Amid all the economic uncertainty and controversial government bailouts, President Barack Obama's job approval rating remains at 62 percent and includes a growing number of Americans who believe the country is moving in the right direction, according to a CBS News poll.
Nearly nine out of 10 Americans think the economy is bad and expect it will take time for any real economic progress to occur — 50 percent think it will take anywhere between 1 to 2 years — according to the poll.
A small sign that Americans are gaining a more positive outlook on the economy is the percentage drop in people very concerned about job loss as well as a drop in the percentage who say the economy is getting worse.
