After a summer of health care battles and sliding approval ratings for President Obama, the White House is facing a troubling new trend: The voters losing faith in the president are the ones he had worked hardest to attract.

I’m a racist, if that makes them feel better. I’m also right about these “Progressives” now leading the county are CommuFascists.
This is really really bad news for the 0. If even the Pew Press propaganda poll is reporting this trend, the actually numbers are significantly higher.
