October 20, 2009: Approval of Obama's Policies Falls Below 50%

This is not good news for a President who campaigned on platitudes and generalities. America is catching on.

For the first time since he took over in the White House, Americans don't see eye to eye with President Barack Obama on the important issues, according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey does indicate that a majority approve of how Obama's handling his duties as president.

According to the poll, which was released Tuesday, 48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them, with 51 percent saying no. That's a switch from April, when 57 percent said they agreed with the president on important issues, with 41 percent disagreeing."

Obama is facing crunch time on a number of controversial issues, from health care to financial regulation to cap and trade to Afghanistan," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "The fact that most Americans no longer agree with him on important issues makes his task harder."

Any objective observer knew that Obama's failed policies would eventually have a negative impact on his poll numbers. The increasing amount of ridicule and dissent coming from the left can't be helping either.

Hey, at least we're not racists!
