IMO it's mostly due to the economy and unemployment. The US gov managed to get the GDP to increase a bit via massive stimulus spending, now they're doing stuff specifically to increase employment which may make people a bit happier in the short term... However if it goes back to being worse (which it probably will considering the massive amount of stuff which is going wrong in the world's economies), he could face a lot of pressure in 2010. Even more than he's facing now.

Interestingly he's not threating banks telling them they have to give out more loans.

This seems like a bad idea to me.
