A Falling Star?

Source

For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21, fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president. In Feb. 21-23 polling, 59% of Americans give Obama a positive review, while 25% say they disapprove, and 16% have no opinion.


Approval ratings are down 10%. Turns out, Hope and Change and $5 will buy you an overpriced cup of coffee but not long term satisfaction with the Commander in Chief. Sure, it is still early and he could top out at 95% by the end of his term but I doubt it. IMO, he peaked before he was even elected and his popularity was due more to a hate of the previous administration rather than earned by achievement and track record. Thus, he has no where to go but down. Granted, “down” for Obama is a long way to travel but he might just speed up the journey once America realizes that he is full of empty promises and bankrupting the country with his massive spending. I just hope they realize it in 4 years instead of 8.
