The latest round of poll numbers lead me to remove "phenomenon status" from our 44th Chief Executive's list of titles. Every major polling organization of any repute has shown a marked decline in his job approval stats as reality dawns on the American electorate.
The ABC News-Washington Post poll shows a six point drop to 59%, the USA Today-Gallup poll shows a six point drop to 55%, Ipsos-McClatchy shows a seven point drop to 57%, and the Hotline poll shows a NINE point plunge to 56%.
The Gallup organization reports that of the 12 postwar presidents, Obama currently ranks 10th out of the 12 in job approval rankings after six months in office...Dubya was 11th and Clinton was 12th.
Fortunately for Obama, the G.O.P. remains committed to its own spectacular ineptitude...for the time being...
