A new Quinnipiac poll finds that President Obama's approval rating remains stable at 57%, but his disapproval rating has shot up from 30% a month ago to 37% now, as more undecided voters shift into the disapproval category. From the pollster's analysis: "He still has a ways to go before his coalition becomes politically unstable, but there are some groups and issues - especially the economy - where he needs to make sure this trend does not continue."

Liberal White Guilt.
driving up the negatives are key for 2010. It is about turnout in a mid-term, and we need a lot of pissed off voters.
Not just whites. Blacks and Hispanics are finding out the the highest unemployment is in the big cities where they live. Detroit, Los Angeles, etc. They are also finding out that their President now owns and is responsible for that unemployment.
It must be getting pretty hard for these pollsters to find employed (or happily unemployed and on welfare) Democrats to survey.
But heck, we are in economic recovery. Only 345,000 jobs were lost this month. Much better than the 665,000 jobs lost last month, and the month before, and the 800,000 lost the month before that.
Can't you see the trend? economic recovery! Obama's "stimulus" is working!
Wait until the 57 percent gets the bill.
Yeah, they'll be turning on him in droves. Any day now.
I have seen break-out analysis where his support numbers are coming from a stunningly near-unanimous support among blacks. He is slipping among all other groups.
There is a constituency that will still give him 95% of their support even if he molests little boys. Reference Jamie Foxx.
That headline indicates the “undecideds” are deciding.
Yeah, by 2012 Obama will probably only get 97.5% of the Black vote instead of 97.8%
If the current trends continue (using the kind of arithmetic that seems to be in use concerning global warming, green jobs and the like) then Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetero, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, supposedly the son of an out-of-control teenager and a Kenyan exchange student, should see his numbers down in the single digits by October 2012.
We love it when a plan comes together.

I don’t know what it will take for blacks to see black politicians as something other than “a bro”. It is very easy for whites to express disgust with white politicians but it seems nearly impossible for blacks to see past the racial label. Once again I say, if John McCain had been elected and had said and done exactly what Obama is saying and doing(don’t bother saying he wouldn’t have, that is not the point) we would have a full scale impeachment underway already and blacks would have been screaming the loudest for his head.
You’re most likely right. I don’t get their logic. Maybe there is no logic. Just race.
It's the same thing that was seen with William "Cold Cash" Jefferson in Louisiana. He lost his last re-election bid only because the election date was postponed due to Hurricane Gustav. The ACORNholes were distracted by the Obama victory-fest and Bill lost to the Vietnamese guy. Oops.
Had that election taken place when originally scheduled, Jefferson would have won - regardless of the federal indictment.
I was actually polled by Rasmussen! I did not get to say I hated Obama, only whether I thought he should do medical care takeover NOW or LATER. The most loaded questions I ever experienced. Not allowed to vote “HELL NO” on anything.
The other factor, of course, is political party. Black "R"s get little black support (Clarence Thomas) -- unless they act like black "D"s and spit on other "R"s (Colin Powell). In other words, most blacks seem to believe whatever liberal whites tell them about black politicians.
The dream is certainly alive; I just wonder "whose dream"?
