Not at all. It's understandable when you realize who the fluctuating swing votes are: the liberal base.
As a group, we're talking shallow and fickle -- with no guiding principles, no regard for anybody but themselves and no concept of tomorrow.
Their opinions are based on today. When Zero gives them "free healthcare", they rally to him. When they find out they're not getting it tomorrow, they start sloughing off. When they find out they'll have to pay for it -- or be fined -- more of them slide away.
They won't ever be "strong disapprovals" -- they're still in love with "Hope and Change" -- but they'll wander back to "President Obama? That his name? Yeah, he's O.K. I guess..."

Selfishness and apathy. It’s so true, and such a part of human nature, and a big part of what we battle, both in ourselves and surely in obots.
