Obama's Approval Drops, Disapproval Rises
A bit late, folks
A new NBC/WSJ poll finds President Obama's approval rating has fallen 6 points since his reelection to 47 percent.
At the same time, his dispproval rating has ticked up 5 points to 48 percent, the poll found.
That puts him underwater for the first time since August last year, when an NBC/WSJ survey found him at 48 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval.

The disapproval amounts should be much, much higher. The economy is still in the tank, no budget in 3 years, completely unfocused and wandering foreign policy, on vacation most of the time, etc. Damn, I'll be glad when he's done his terms.
Well they still got Bush to blame, so it will take another 5 years for that well to be tapped. Progtards still think FDR got them out of the depression, I wouldn't count on them learning
