People are more likely to switch back and forth between "strongly" and "somewhat" than from "approve" to "disapprove". The numbers bear this out.

The "strong disapproves" are likely to voice their disapproval, and have reasons they can articulate. The "strong approves" are likely to try to stop conversations of disapproval about Obama, by having screaming fits until people just decide to avoid the topic to keep the peace.

There are now going to be more conversations where the strong disapprovers will be able to talk without being screamed at. We may be close to the tipping point.

I hope you are right. Liberals often believe they are the only ones who should be allowed to give their opinion.

I work with a large number of BO supporters. At work the other day, a girl outside of my office was complaining that her husband is taking a 20% paycut (this year, 10% more next)...

One guy in a cube outside (dunno his pol leanings, but I can guess now...) whined loudly "I WANT my STIMULUS PACKAGE!". I asked loudly...."How's that hope and change working out for you?".

Not a peep. Nada. A few months ago, there would have been howls of derision. Might have needed to talk to HR for an "Attitude Adjustment".

The times, they are a changin'.

The lower his polls go, the better chance the Blue Dogs have to stick together and vote no. They’re a major part in this whole equation. They stalled this thing on purpose before the recess, at least that’s my understanding.
