More, More Cowbell for My Centurions: WSJ/NBC Poll Puts Obama Approval at 51%

The sample? Adults.

Oooooh. Burn.

For the first time, independent voters—who delivered Mr. Obama the White House and Democrats control of the Congress—disapprove of the job he is doing, 46% to the 41% who approve. In July, 49% of independents approved of the president, against 38% who disapproved.

New doubts about the president have coincided with new hopes for Republicans, who appeared flattened by the election nearly a year ago.

As the 2010 election cycle heats up, independent voters now favor Republican control of Congress by four percentage points.

Check out this spinning headline:

Poll Contains Bright Spots, Warnings for Obama

Erosion of Support for Health Revamp Slows, but Concern Is Cited Over Foreign Policy

Ah... his erosion slowed. It's just eroding slower now. What a Bright Spot for him. I'm sure he's doing backflips.

Full poll here. Dig in, if'n you're hungry.

Thanks to AHFF Geoff again.

For cowbell, let's go a little on the disco tip. I guessed, without knowing, that this is the sort of song that would have cowbell, and sure enough it does.
