A new poll shows President Barack Obama’s popularity in Virginia has slipped below 50 percent.
The Public Policy poll of 617 likely general election voters showed Obama with a 48 percent approval rating, which is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
The survey showed 46 percent disapproval and 6 percent not sure.
The opinion is highly polarized, the poll shows, with 95 percent of Democrats but only 9 percent of Republicans viewing him favorably. Fifty-two percent of independents disapprove of his performance with only 38 percent approving.
The poll was taken June 30 through July 2.

You don’t have to insult Carter like that. We are looking at something worse than a weak horse now.
We will be going to Virginia beach for our yearly vacation (The first time to Virginia) besides the beach are there any good restaurants, amusement parks or outlet malls???
Virginia isn’t the only place he’s slipping. You can rocket to superstar status but once you peak, you come down a heck of a lot faster than you went up.
The Macarena President...
This here statement sounds kind of stoopid, however. Are they quoting Cynthia McKinney?
I think the reality is sinking in. His national numbers are still ok (mid-fifties), but in purple states he is in really bad shape. The other poll showed him under 50% in Ohio.
Dem congresscritters from these states are no doubt aware of this, and will try to distance them of Obama.
I can’t see economy (=employment) rebounding in a significant way before mid-term elections so Obama is poison to dem candidates in Ohio, Virginia and other purple/red states. If this continue like this, I can see massive gains for GOP.
Sorry, I've never been to VA Beach, though it's only about a two hr drive away.
Monticello is in Charlottesville, approx an hr and a half NW of Richmond
Virginia Beach area (known as “Hampton Roads”) is home to Busch Gardens Europe, Water Country USA, and Ocean Breeze amusement parks, Colonial Williamsburg, Nautilus marine science museum, a Norfolk navy museum, Virginia Aquarium & Marine Center, First Landing, Virginia Zoological Society,...
And you’ll find the malls no problem.
As a transplanted Yankee, I’m still finding Golden Corral buffets pretty awesome. I’m in Northern Virginia, though, and the ones up here aren’t as good.
and its only taken 6 months for the crap to be laid at his door. You own it now Obama, be careful what you wish for, sunshine.
Hussein is slipping in 50 states along with the Congress. Tsunami coming in 2010 and 2012.
He is going to make that that retarded SOB Carter look like George effin Washington.
Same in Ohio, Hannity and Kasich said tonight on the show. Under 50% and falling....
Are you in Ohio?
The Republican Party needs to become more liberal to attract voters.
Meaghan McCain should be the new spokesman for the party.
Carter wasn’t weak, he was evil. Still is.
Head south on Atlantic Avenue. Turn right before crossing the bridge at Rudees Inlet. Travel to Rudee’s Inlet Restaurant. They have an outdoor veranda where you and your family can sit on large gliders and enjoy the marina over a cocktail and appetizers. Arrive for dinner by 5PM to get a good seat.
