I like Hanson’s columns in general, but I don’t buy Obama’s poll losses are because he isn’t liberal enough. Most of his recent losses are from independents who tend to be more moderate than lib. Yes he is losing some dems as well but probably more of the moderate dems who are among the working class who are getting nailed by the recession, not the limo libs.

His point is the ‘Obama’s policies aren’t liberal enough’ line is a myth.

Did you read the column? The whole point is that Hanson doesn’t buy that O’s poll losses are because he isn’t “liberal” enough, but that his deluded supporters, whether among his “czars”, in the media or among the nutroots think that.

Hansen said just the opposite, i.e. that attributing his poll decline to not being liberal enough “is lunatic in political terms.”

Where did he say that?

Hanson doesn't, either...hence the first part of the sentence...

According to a popular myth, President Obama’s declining poll numbers are a consequence of his failure to be liberal enough...

And Hanson (above) agrees with you.
