It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama's high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that the opposite is most likely true. [MOD CUT/copyright]
Yes, The clear thinking, non party line toeing independent voters are realizing the policies Obama wants to enact are not going to work:

July 7, 2009 - Obama's Approval Drops In Ohio - Critical Swing State, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; 2010 Senate Race Tips Slightly To Democrats
President Barack Obama gets a lackluster 49 - 44 percent approval rating in Ohio, considered by many to be the most important swing state in a presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This is President Obama's lowest approval rating in any national or statewide Quinnipiac University poll since he was inaugurated and is down from 62 - 31 percent in a May 6 survey.
By a small 48 - 46 percent margin, voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This is down from a 57 - 36 percent approval May 6.
A total of 66 percent of Ohio voters are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the way things are going in the state, while 33 percent are "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied," numbers that haven't changed since Obama was elected.
But:
From June 26 - July 1, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,259 Ohio voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.
The survey includes 483 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points and 445 Republicans with a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points.
We are in one of the worst economies in history and people are shocked that the president's numbers are declining
This has to be the 25th thread on the subject. I think we should merge the Obama approval ratings them into one thread. Just like we did with all of the Palin threads.
It will get rid of the clutter on the MB make it easier to follow.

I agree, the trend is down and the honeymoon is over I just do not think getting to exited is warrented yet. I will not infringe on your party after this post.
Joe Biden is on his way to Ohio this morning to smooth things over there.
All is good now. Rest easy.
