The Obama Honeymoon Is Ending
Recent polling by Gallup and Rasmussen indicate that approval of Obama’s job performance is dwindling.
Gallup’s latest poll records Obama’s lowest job approval yet at 58% (with 33% disapproval). This is obviously not a horrible rating, but, what I find most interesting is the approval by party ID:

Obama has lost ground with Republicans and Independents. Now, I am sure most would write off low approval from Republicans as expected, but an 8-point drop with Independents in two weeks is very significant. It is also interest to note that Obama has only gained ground with Democrats. Which only speaks to Obama’s polarizing nature. Obama has made many blunders in his short time in office, and has on occasion, done things that have upset his base. Not releasing photos of detainees being interrogated, a perceived lack of action on the homosexual agenda, etc. Past poll internals have shown Obama personally getting more support than the policies he is promoting, so, it is only a matter of time before support from Democrats takes a hit.
The Rasmussen poll also shows bad news for Obama. Their latest daily tracking poll also shows a new low for Obama. There presidential approval index weighs ‘strong approval’ against ‘strong disapproval’ and finds, for the for time a negative president approval index rating:

The trend in the above graph is undeniable. I know some on the left would love to write off the numbers as being influenced by sour grapes from McCain voters, but Obama’s early high approval clearly showed a willingness from voters on the right to give Obama a chance, which is normal at the start of any presidency. Even after the contentious 2000 election, George W. Bush entered office with high approval.
What is causing the rapid decline in Obama’s approval? Well, as I stated before, the policies he is promoting have significantly less support than he does. His flip-flopping on campaign promises, his blunders, hypocrisy, and incompetence has been chipping away at the carefully crafted, focus group-tested image he made for himself during the campaign.
