" .. Recent Gallup data echo these concerns. That polling shows that there are deep-seated, underlying economic concerns. Eighty-three percent say they are worried that the steps Mr. Obama is taking to fix the economy may not work and the economy will get worse. Eighty-two percent say they are worried about the amount of money being added to the deficit. Seventy-eight percent are worried about inflation growing, and 69% say they are worried about the increasing role of the government in the U.S. economy."

Yeah, the underlying numbers are vastly different from the "headlines" or the "is he a nice guy" number.

Obviously, you didn't read the article since you are ignorant of the fact that the Gallup poll is in there as well.

Do you ever read the links?

This isn't a general approval or disapproval rating. It's about concerns with the economy and with the ever increasing deficit. I don't think any rational-thinking person - whether pro-Obama or anti-Obama - could not be at least slightly worried.

Of course they aren't.

But as we venture down that slippery slope of tax and spend, many Americans, are finding the upcoming finacial uncertainty related to it, a bit hard to swallow.
