Though there has been one and two-day statistical noise, for most of the year Gallup has shown Obama's job approval rating safely and consistently at fifty or above. Since Friday, though, the three-day average dipped to a startling 46%.
02/27-03/1 : 47 approve -- 45 disapprove
02/28-03/2: 46 approve -- 46 disapprove
03/1-3/3: 46 approve -- 46 disapprove
This could again be statistical noise
or related directly to the sequester negotiations. As much as Democrats
and the media want to blame the GOP, people still see Obama as in
charge. Moreover, thanks to conservative media and a very few brave
mainstream media journalists willing to tell the truth, the president's
credibility has taken a real hit.
More than once, Obama and his White
House have been caught telling bald-faced lies about Obama's role in
birthing sequester, how much discretion he has over spending cuts, and
the crying of wolf over what to expect when the cuts hit.
We also have the matter of the economy,
which may be worsening to a point where the media is no longer able to
happy talk into something other than a political liability for Obama and
his failed policies.
If a majority of the media won't hold
Obama responsible for his lies and failed economic policies, maybe this
poll shows the public finally will.
