obama sinks (from that liberal source cnn)
Published Oct. 22, 2009Views: 456
For the first time since Obama took office, fewer than half of Americans agree with the president on issues important to them, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday. A majority, 51 percent, disagree -- a jump of 10 percentage points since April. (CNN)
The rebuke of his transparent attempt to hide the real cost of his health care takeover will certainly cause his numbers to sink lower. The positive thing is, the swing is coming from independent voters, who will likely elect the next president, and more importantly, the next Congress.

----------------- Informative article. Here's more from it:
"Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April.
His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78 per cent approval rating."

I haven't yet read the actual poll, but I'm hoping the dirty work was done by Opinion Research Corp, and CNN merely funded it, because CNN has proven themselves completely inept at statistics. Despite the many emails I have sent them, they still claim to this day that combining polls eliminates sampling error. Idiots.

Leveled off?
Hilarious.
You're the guy on the stern of the ship as it sinks under the water saying "I can't see any leaks".

Actually, it's pretty steady. His approval rating was 60% for months, now it's leveled off at 50% since a bunch of independents switched.
"'tea baggers' or your slur of the day"
Ah yes. The name they gave themselves first. You know, if they didn't want to be called that, they should have called themselves something different.
