Obama’s poll numbers sliding

What goes up, must come down.

Obama’s popularity in Virginia is now down below 50% [1], reflecting a trend that started in Ohio [2].

A new Public Policy Polling [3] survey looking at how likely voters for this fall’s election view Barack Obama finds his approval rating at just 48%, with 46% disapproving.

Obama’s reviews are highly polarized with 95% of Democrats but only 9% of Republicans giving him good marks. His overall numbers are weak due to poor numbers among independents- 52% of them say they disapprove of Obama’s performance with only 38% giving him favorable ones.
