President Obama's job approval rating has dropped from a +44 to a +22 in the last seven months. And Ohio, who voted for the president, seems to be the first state to have changed it's mind (with less than 50% approving of the president). Many are wondering if this is the beginning of widespread discontent.
Here are the averages of recent polls. Click on the links to see detail (and play with the cool graphs):
President Obama Job Approval
RCP Average
Approve 58.3
Disapprove 36.3
Spread +22.0
Congressional Job Approval
RCP Average
Approve 35.3
Disapprove 54.7
Spread -19.4
Direction of Country
RCP Average
Right Direction 43.3
Wrong Track 52.0
Spread -8.7
A majority of us believe Congress is a mess, the country is on the "Wrong Track", and that the president seems much less exciting than before. This is what you call a BACKLASH. Huge deficits and new proposed taxes don't seem to be a recipe for success, and I can't believe anyone ever believed they would be.
