The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows a 47 percent approval rating for President Barack Obama.

The poll results are the lowest numbers for Obama and his administration to date. In addition, more than half of the Americans polled say the country is on the wrong track.

A recent Gallup Poll found that President Obama’s approval ratings have sharply declined among whites, while staying above 90 percent among African-Americans.

The Grio went to Harlem to speak with some African-Americans about the Obama’s latest approval ratings and if he will take a more proactive role in addressing black issues.
