Gallup Poll shows Americans are dissatisfied.
This is the lowest in almost 30 years. The previous low was 12 per cent when Jimmy Carter was president in 1988 because of severe gas shortages and rising prices. There was 12 per cent satisfaction rating when George Bush Sr. was president in 1992 and several times this year.
Respondents were asked what is the most important problem facing the country today, nearly seven in 10 mentioned the economy.
The second Presidential debate
will happen later tonight, so the question now becomes: Will the two candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, discuss these issues or would they rather talk about Ayers or Keating?
