ALBANY, GA -- According to a Fox News poll, President Obama's overall approval rating is at 45%.

But what do Southwest Georgians think of the job he's doing?

Folks in the area are split down the middle, some saying he's doing a wonderful job, others saying they're not happy because he hasn't created more jobs.

But everyone agrees, economy is what's on everyone's mind.

“The economy's going to pick up, it's gonna be a couple years before it gets back and rolling but I think things are getting better,” says Leesburg resident Robert Reeves.

Darton College Economics professor Aaron Johnson says congress is divided as well, saying the president has done a poor job uniting the two parties in congress.
