Obama Polls Sinking Faster Than Teddy Kennedy’s Car

Reference entirely intended… in case you forgot, or better yet haven’t been reminded by Pravda, of the 40 year anniversary of the the death of Mary Joe Kopechne (h/t to Mark Levin on the reminder).
It’s no wonder that Comrade Obama is in a huge hurry, because Americans are fleeing from his radical Marxist agenda like rats off a sinking ship… this from USA today:
Polls can affect president’s hold on party
Barack Obama, who completed six months in office Monday, has a 55% approval rating in the USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, putting him 10th among the dozen presidents who have served since World War II at this point in their tenures.
For Obama, the timing of his slide in ratings is particularly unhelpful: He’s intensified his push to pass health care bills in the House and Senate before Congress leaves on its August recess. He’ll press his case at a news conference at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
His overall approval rating has dropped 9 percentage points since his inauguration in January, and his disapproval rate has jumped 16 points, to 41%.
Trouble at home
More people disapprove than approve of Obama on four domestic issues: the economy, taxes, health care and the federal budget deficit. He scores majority approval on handling Iraq, Afghanistan and foreign affairs.
The biggest drop has been on his handling of the economy, down 12 points since February; his disapproval is up 19 points. The most erosion has come not from Republicans or independents but among his own Democrats. Support from conservative and moderate Democrats is down by 18 points. Another group in the party’s political base — those earning $20,000 to $50,000 a year — had a drop of 15 percentage points, to 47%.
That could reflect one reason why moderate Democratic senators and the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats in the House are demanding more cost controls in the health care plan before they’ll sign on.
Then we have these headlines from Rasmussen:
Republicans need to keep hammering away at Obama. Start calling his radical agenda what it is, and explaining to voters how the conservative, common sense, free market solutions that Republicans represent will be the right solutions to our nations problems. Do that, and Republicans will be back in the majority in both chambers in 2010 at this rate.
