WASHINGTON - As he nears the one-year point of his presidency, Barack
Obama gets middling marks from most Americans but credit for governing
in difficult times. A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Jan. 8-9 shows
President Obama with 50% or higher approval for handling foreign
affairs and terrorism, but 50% or more disapproval on health care and
the economy. On handling the situation in Afghanistan there is an
almost even divide: 48% approve-47% disapprove.
