What Americans expect is bold action to reinvigorate the economy with millions of jobs.
The newest poll to come out measuring the public anger with Congress in general and frustration with a timid president is from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal. They used both Republican and Democratic pollsters and it was conducted from 27 to 31 August 2011.
Obama's current status with voters:
* approval - 44 percent
* disapproval - 51 percent
