The CBS News in its latest opinion poll said only 46 per cent of the people now approve, and 41 per cent now say they disapprove Obama's performance as the US president.
In last month's CBS News poll, 50 per cent of Americans had approved of how the president was handling his job, while 39 per cent disapproved, the news channel said, adding domestic issues appears to be driving down his popularity.
