Obama's approval rating drops to lowest level in a year
US President Barack Obama's approval rating has dropped to its lowest level in a year amid growing public concerns about a possible terrorist attack in the country.
A joint poll conducted by the NBC and the Wall Street Journal, released on Monday, shows Obama’s approval rating sinking to 43 percent, down two points from late October.
Forty percent of the respondents ranked national security and terrorism as top priorities following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and California.
"For most of 2015, the country's mood, and thus the presidential election, was defined by anger and the unevenness of the economic recovery," said Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, which conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. "Now that has abruptly changed to fear."
Fifty-five percent said they are worried that the US won't go far enough to monitor terrorists.
Seventy percent also said the US is headed in the wrong direction, which is the highest level since August 2014.
The poll was conducted from December 6 to 9 and 1,000 adults participated in it.
