President Obama remains popular with the American people but two new polls find deep misgivings about major policy positions, suggesting the new president's honeymoon may be coming to an end.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll pegged Obama's job approval rating at 56%, a fall from 61% in April. Obama's approval rating among independents in this poll dropped dramatically, from nearly a two-to-one approval to closely divided.
Similarly, this poll exposed deep concerns about the administration's approach to the economic crisis, notably its policy prescription for the beleaguered auto industry.
Nearly seven in 10 Americans said they had concerns about the federal government's intervention in the economy, including the administration's decision to take an ownership stake in General Motors and the limits set by the White House on executive compensation.
Obama and Congress should worry more about keeping the deficit down, 58% of the respondents said. A majority disapproved of Obama's decision to close the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The latest New York Times/CBS News poll revealed 60% of Americans believe the Obama administration has failed to develop a clear plan for dealing with the budget deficit.

It is racist to not like him.
Without the State Run Media, the Kenyan’s approval rate would be under 50%.
MSM hyped POTUS !
Never mind if he is “screwing up” big time!
Without the media, this guy wouldn’t have even beat out Hillary Clinton for the Dem nomination.
Only goes to prove the arguments that Barry’s approval ratings are, and have been, twisted open-ended logic.
That is an absolute fact as 1+1=2.
Only because people don’t want to be thought of as ‘racist’.
Personally, I don’t care anymore - I hate this pompous a-hole kenyan ursurper.
200million of your dollars to send four Chinese Muslims to Bermuda...that is approx. 11.7 million per man”
I don’t get your math.
200 million for 4 terrorists==50 million per man in this house.
What don’t I get?
Without the State Run Media, the Kenyans approval rate would be under 50%.”
Without the state run media, the not eligible Kenyan’s approval rating would be 1/2 of 1 percent.
Racist—Smacist!!!
How can anyone who can unroll toilet paper not connect the policies to the person???
Kool Aid sales must be off the charts.
They pulled the same scam with President Clinton. He is not a good President at all; but we love him. What BS.
“....remains popular with the American people but two new polls find deep misgivings about major policy positions.”

So what SPECIFICALLY do they like about him?
Or, are they just thoughtless, politically correct chickenshits who cower in the face of the “racism” label, tossed about reflexively, by the way, by ignorant racists.
If you see a guy driving around with this bumper sticker in NYC, wave hello, cause chances are, very few others are able to pull this off...
Without the blacks supporting him only because he is black, his support might be below 50 pct
I know I've been seeing a lot of:
1●20●2013 bumper stickers here.
I wish it would be much sooner than 2013.
even if I am off a mil or two, it is all chump change to Tax Cheat Geithner and boss Obama...some foreign policy with another snub to Briton...
Just did the math... He’s be at a hair under 50% (based on 56% approval overall)
