President Barack Obama’s national job approval rating sits at 46 percent in the latest Fox News Public Opinion Poll, down 19 points from a high of 65 percent at his inauguration.
And it looks like his popularity among his Hollywood supporters has also taken a hit.
FOXNews.com interviewed several celebrities over the past several weeks who supported Obama’s candidacy. A year-and-change into his first term, many are expressing disappointment regarding his positions on such issues as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, gay marriage, health care and the economy, among other things.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is upset that the slow pace with which the President has moved troops out of combat operations overseas. “We need to get out of the wars, we’re going through the same thing as Vietnam right now,” Hefner told Pop Tarts. “We can’t please the world and all we do is make enemies.”
“True Blood” beauty Ashley Jones is upset with President Obama's health care initiatives.
“I was hoping for a different type of health reform,” Jones said last weekend. “I would like to see him not just trying to equalize everything, but actually make the quality of everything (better). It's great that we're having a health care reform, but if the quality will be compromised in any way for the majority just so everyone can have it, it seems counterproductive in some ways.”
"He will have to explain to the American people why his vision for bigger government, more spending, and higher taxes will work over the next four years when it hasn't worked in the past three and a half years.” – Sen. Rob Portman on President Obama
