In fact, given that he started with higher approval ratings than any recent president, one would expect a significant drop, particularly with taking on significant issues like health care reform and the worst economy in half a century.

If you look at job approval ratings from all polls, the majority still have it above 50%
Obama: Job Ratings

He has disappointed alot of people with lofty expectations, including me, in some policy areas. I want a president willing to take bold moves to address major problems, rather than just coast along. IMO, he has been too accommodating in attempting to build consensus and has not been bold enough.

But his favorability ratings are still high:
Obama: Favorability

Poll cherry picking is a FOX trick.

pan.....you want to try that recovery plan again...given that the good pieces of your first plan are already in Obama's recovery plan or the Democrats banking/financial services regulatory bill?
