Obama approval ratings drop to new low of 41 percent

President Barack Obama's approval ratings have dropped to 41 percent in his fifth year in the White House, according to a new Pew Research Center poll.

Almost 53 percent Americans have disapproved the effectiveness of the job that Obama is doing, Politico reports.

The figures are reportedly down 14 points from last December, the report added.

Pew also compared Obama's approval to the last few presidents in their fifth year and found out his decline mimics that of George W. Bush, who registered a 36 percent approval rating at the same point in his term.

Bill Clinton, on the other hand, was at a 58 percent approval the year after he was re-elected.
