The president is taking a nosedive in the polls.
Averages from Pollster.com and RealClearPolitics.com illustrate a dramatic decline in his approval rating and and an increase in disapproval marks. Among independent voters, the two lines are converging. In Rasmussen and Zogby, the two trend lines for all voters already have crossed.
Polls show the public thinks Obama is spending too much and taking on too much power. It is not hard to conclude that Obama has been caught trying to pull off a bait and switch — he ran as a moderate and is governing as a left-winger. With ample evidence that they have been conned, the voters are now registering their disapproval.
If one accepts this interpretation of events, Obama has two options — veer toward the political center or face an ongoing backlash against his ultra-liberal policies. And if one perceives the public is uneasy — if not resentful — that they have been snookered, then the 2010 congressional elections and the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races this fall are chances to set things straight and put some restraint on the political extremism of the president.
Liberals hope this theory is wrong, of course....

Whay not both!?!!? :)
Why “or”? Can’t it be both?
“Liberals hope this theory is wrong, of course....”
I don’t!
The guy was never eligible in this office and is simply a counterfeit leader who lied his way past a gulible public who had never seen lies and deception of this magnitude.
we have been snookered, but no longer
I sure pray he is a one-term president...and also that he opens his mouth early and often so that ALL of America can see for themselves just how liberal and racist this man is!
Seriously, there are millions who are/were still afraid to criticize him for fear of being called racist.
His ineptness has afforded them an opportunity to “come out of the closet” so to speak...
He and his thugs are out for revenge of some sort. His Brown Shirts are Americorp, ACORN and the unions.
They will be coming for you at some point in the future.
When will his Civilian Defense Force join these charlatans? (You forgot AARP.)
Yes. Yes.
More like “buyers remorse” and that many are slowly coming around to realize just how radical Barry is along with his “fundamentally change” America agenda(s).
I am praying he is a less than one term President. (Praying though that his term comes to an end via Constitutional means though)
Ironically if the polls are declining due to Obama’s frequent on-camera appearances that is the one area where he will refuse to budge. His ego simply won’t let him keep hid.
Yup. We'll discover others too.
“he ran as a moderate and is governing as a left-winger. With ample evidence that they have been conned, the voters are now registering their disapproval.....”
Can no one think for themselves anymore? Who believed him to begin with? The damn media never reported or questioned any of his past whack left associations....as if they never exsisted! Yet, the voters are responsible for this disaster!All the voters with buyers remorse are at fault....Thank you for this pile of crap!....but registering your disapproval should have been done on your ballot you idiots!!
They have NO CREDIBILITY left, NONE!
My take on it all is that the dems are going hard left now, so that they can veer back to the center in time for the elections. There is an unfortunate political adage that essentially says that voters have short memories. Unfortunately, it appears to be true. The reason the stimulus was designed in such a way that the dollars wouldn’t start going into the economy until 2010, was that they believe they can use the dollars to buy votes. The dems are banking on the cyclical nature of the economic cycle, and their cash infusion to bring the ecomomy back to semblance of normalcy in time for the election. It cynically doesn’t do anything now, for all the people who desperately need help now, though.
