You’re turning our Blue States, Red:
Barack Obama now has a negative approval rating in every state he flipped from the Bush column to his in 2008. In each of those places his level of support is now in the 44-46% range. It’s probably a good thing he doesn’t have to run for reelection this year. He can only hope things start turning around for him once the midterms are in the rear view mirror, much as they did for Bill Clinton.
Only took a bit more than a year for our erring sisters to figure Obama out – and now these States are receding rapidly from Obama; and they won’t be back in 2012, even if the economy improves. All that political polarization is just going to get stronger, thanks to Obama’s relentless liberalism. Its very hard to switch a negative view back to a positive one.
