American voters, either Republicans or Democrats, have noticed Obama's difficulties in keeping his words and how hard he has tried. .
"He is a quick learner and dedicated to his job," said Turner, "He is becoming more practical and realistic after encountering setbacks."
Travor Fitzegibbon, a public relations professional in Washington, D.C., appreciated Obama's resolve to come in the presidency when the country's economy was in a bad shape and tried really hard to make changes happen, especially improving the U.S. international image by forsaking unilateralism.
As a public affairs professor in George Mason University, Mark Rozell's perception of Obama's performance so far was mixed.
"He is a president who has set many big goals with high risks but ran into harsh reality," he said.
However, history has shown that some voters' disappointment over a president's policies does not necessarily draw down the president's popularity. It is the case with Obama.
Despite recent polls signaling decline of Obama's supporting rate, he remains a charismatic leader to most Americans.
"He has great personalities," said Jay Nestlerode, a Republican-leaned engineer, citing Obama's capability to eloquently make his points to public.
Compared to previous presidents, Obama makes himself more accessible and has tried many approaches to better explain his policy decisions to people, Nestlerode said.
WHAT DO CHINESE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT OBAMA?
The U.S. president's upcoming visit to China slated for Nov. 15-18 would be warmly welcomed by the Chinese government, but he may face an audience both as enthusiastic and as divided as any he has faced at home.
On the Internet, the Chinese netizens have already prepared numerous questions for the U.S. president, ranging from "Do you think the U.S. could lead the world out of the economic recession?" to "Do you have a Facebook account? May I add you as a friend?"
As the first African-American U.S. president, Obama was especially popular among Chinese young people, who regarded him as an example of American dream.
"I think he is nice and has excellent oratory skills...Most of my classmates like him," said Wang Yu, an 18-year-old senior middle school student.
"He is the first black president in U.S. history...I think he has achieved something really remarkable," added Wang, who is now busy preparing for his college entrance examination.
Gong Chengtao, a senior accountant, said the issue he is most concerned about is how to protect Chinese people's assets in the United States.
"I think we should raise this issue before Obama, because China has suffered great losses in this regard...After years of hard work, we don't want to lose our money."
"Also, the United States should stop its trade protection measures against China and efforts should be made to prevent trade wars between the two countries," he said.
"Sorry, I don't really care about it," Li Ying, a 29-year-old freelancer in Beijing, said with an apologetic smile when asked how she viewed the U.S. president and his upcoming visit.
"His visit is important of course...but I am busy trying to make my ends meet and taking care of my family...I just don't have time to pay any attention to it."
