Some Americans are paying attention to Obama at last
President Obama now has a 5 point negative spread (37-32) in those who view him very unfavorably versus very favorably. We don’t pay too much attention to polls like this, but there is an element that caught our eye. Obama’s rating of “strong approval” has declined roughly 10 points since his inauguration, but his rating of “strong disapproval” has increased by twice that, a bit over 20 points. That trajectory cannot be comforting to the administration. Maybe the country actually continues to be plurality conservative after all, as some other polls suggest. Maybe the country really doesn’t want a man of Peter Tosh’s views to be President. That would be nice, and it can’t happen quickly enough. HT: Powerline

Socialists generally couldn’t care less what the population thinks about them.
And politicians in general don’t care until shortly before the next elections (which under socialism of course are rigged or non-existent so there’s no need to care even then).

We have rising debt, unemployment, and interest rates with no turnaround in sight. I have no proof, but I’d guess that more than a few Obama voters are realizing that talk is cheap. They elected an image, now they are faced with reality.
