MOSCOW, October 20 (RIA Novosti) - US President Barack Obama failed to rally the crowd while on a campaign trail in Maryland on Sunday, as people reportedly walked out of the room in a steady flow, which is again indicator of the president's sagging popularity rating.
Obama was in Maryland - considered to be a Democratic heartland - to bring grassroots voters to support their Democratic candidate for governor.
It was a rare occasion of the president going on a campaign trail, with most candidates from his party becoming more and more reluctant to share the podium with a leader whose backing is at its lowest ebb, according to Reuters.
