The failures
President Barack Obama on Wednesday night will address the Democratic
National Convention.
He's expected to talk about America's progress during his eight-year term
and why Hillary Clinton is the only presidential candidate in the race who
can continue on the right path.
The president is popular - especially among Democrats - with an approval
rating of 51 percent, but most Americans don't think the country is on the
right path.
Those surveyed in a recent McClatchy-Marist Poll said by a 70-to-25 vote
said the U.S. is going in the wrong direction, citing the economy,
political gridlock and terrorism as the biggest factors.
This list shows Obama's biggest failures, as rated by voters.
