In a troubling sign for President Obama, his popularity is dipping -- in New York of all places -- as he tries to get a handle of the bad economy, the ongoing war in Afghanistan , while trying to push through a controversial health care bill.

Although 57 percent of registered voters across the state believe Obama is doing either an excellent or good job in office, the president’s support has slipped over the summer, according to a Marist Poll released today.

Forty-three percent of state voters currently say Obama is falling short of expectations since taking office in January.

By comparison, Obama got high marks from 63 percent of voters polled by Marist in July.

I don't think Afghanistan has that much to do with it (although his administration is managing to screw that up as well.)

When people feel it in their wallets, they react. And it's been a fact for quite some time that most Americans just don't want socialized medicine.

The economy's the clincher.

That was also the driving force in the 1980 Reagan landslide.

How can the Liberal Messiah’s approval be dropping in New York and yet be rising in the Rasmussen’s Approval Index? At least one of those is wrong.

“That was also the driving force in the 1980 Reagan landslide.”

And history shall indeed repeat itself in 2012, when Sarah Palin & Michele Bachmann win in a landslide!
