Obama's Numbers Continue To Slip

IMO people are expecting things to change over night. That is not reality.

Any changes to economy policy will take 6 months to even have any effect or trickle down.

i agree

A report on by MSNBC on a poll provided the following interesting numbers:

Obama's Overall Approval Rating:
When elected - 74%
Today - 54%

People who think Obama is handling the economy properly:
October '09 - 50%
Today - 46%

People who disapprove of Obama's handling of Iraq:
October '09 - 37%
Today - 45%

People who disapprove of Obama's handling of Afghanistan:
October '09 - 41%
Today - 48%

So in just 1 month Obama has lost 4 points on the economy, 8 points on Iraq and 7 points on Afghanistan.

but thats not a full concensus. It is just a different time where some people voted in a poll. We can poll 100 people on here and get the 1st numbers and poll another 100 people on SCF the same day and it would add up to the second total. Its just a margin of error, not accurate accessment
