For First Time, Majority Disapprove of Obama in CNN's Poll

CNN, last of the true-believin' Mohicans. (Well, maybe not the last, but among the last.)

Even CNN's juiced poll finds majority disapproval of their boyfriend.

This is a poll of adults, as usual for these Obama-loving pollster, offering a very skewed and overly-optimistic estimate of how their boyfriend's doing.

For the first time, a CNN poll has found that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama's job performance.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday, 51 percent of respondents disapprove of Obama's job performance and 46 percent approve of it.

Obama's approval rating has dropped steadily each month since December, when it was 54 percent. His highest approval rating in a CNN poll was 76 percent in February 2009 shortly after he took office.

...

[H]ealth care was the policy area that drew the second highest negative rating, with 58 percent registering disapproval. The highest negative rating was 62 percent for his handling of the federal deficit.

The difference between 1994 and now, Obama pronounced with typical modesty, is that now Democrats have him.

Yes, they have him. And that may make a difference... but perhaps not the difference he thinks it will.
