Presidents and Polls

From Politico:

In a potentially alarming trend for the White House, independent voters are deserting President Barack Obama nationally and especially in key swing states, recent polls suggest.

Obama’s job approval rating hit a — still healthy — low of 56 percent in the Gallup Poll on Wednesday. And pollsters are debating whether Obama’s expansive and expensive policy proposals or the ground-level realities of a still-faltering economy are driving the falling numbers.

How about both? It's such a shame, as conservatives predicted the disastrous results that we are now witnessing play out before us. Turns out, we weren't just whistling Dixie. We can only hope those poll numbers continue to fall, fall, fall.
