POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Its Circle the wagons time at the O! corral

As other non-Hitlerian polling firms descend into nazi-esque Rasmussen territory, finally reflecting the buyers remorse that the public is feeling about President Obama after his first year in office; although Gallup attempts to bury it amongst data that they say is supportive of Obamacare. Both Gallup and PPP have Obamas underwater, although Gallup stresses the fact that his approval is still around 50%. But PPP doesn't try to guid the lily:

For the first time in Public Policy Polling’s monthly national surveys Barack Obama’s approval rating is in negative territory. 47% of voters in the country express unhappiness with the job he’s doing while 46% give him good marks. …

Obama’s health care plan continues to be part of his popularity problem. 49% of voters in the country are opposed to 40% in favor. Republicans are much stronger in their opposition than Democrats are in their support.
41% of voters say that Obama has lived up to their expectations while 49% think he has not. The biggest drop between his approval and the feeling that he’s met expectations is with independents.

And Cap'n Ed figures that his likeability is about all that is keeping O!  afloat:

Without his personal charm and charisma, Obama would likely already be in Bush territory on job approval, or close to it, even among the general adult population.  It’s not a big surprise, then, to see surveys of registered or likely voters putting Obama underwater...

Sure puts that Doris Kearns Goodwin rah-rah piece I linked to earlier in perspective, eh?  Amazing bit of timing how it's publishing coincides with the release of all the negative results in the wake of the Massachusettes vote.  But that's how it goes in the universe of Sorelian lies...

Isn't it terrible how so many of the President's former supporters are turning so racist these days?
