After a decisive victory in November and attendant surge in popularity, President Barack Obama’s post-election honeymoon appears to be coming to an end.A wave of recent polls show that his job approval ratings have dropped from their post-election peak, leading some to blame the sequester and others to speculate that the president has lost his “political capital,” presumably endangering his agenda.That's probably overstating things. While the decline certainly isn't good news for the White House, it's not entirely surprising, either. Presidents receive a post-election bounce, and it usually comes back down.
i wrote about this a couple of times this drop if accurate come from "we the people's" impatience.
the squester as we know was design to be so horrendous that a deal had to be made, only problem was none of us knew how committed and more afraid the right wing is of primarys and dissapointing the "bribe creators".
don't think naivety this time but a gross over estimation of right wing respect for their jobs and those who pay their first check as opposed to the ones Beohner hands out on the congressional floor with impunity, audacity of arrogant greed and "i don't care if you know".
Eight surveys conducted this month show an average of 47 percent of Americans supporting the president’s performance, down from the mid-fifties in December. While some observers have attributed the fall to the sequester, which took effect March 1, many surveys, including Quinnipiac, Fox News, Pew Research, CBS, and Gallup, already showed the president's popularity slipping by February. it probably helped Obama's approval rating because the public tends to lose confidence in a president’s leadership when things aren’t going well, even if they don’t think he’s to “blame.”And although the lack of a public outcry over sequestration has hurt the administration's chances of securing new revenue,
i've said we need to be involved the congress and republicans have stacked the deck for so long that just being head guy does not guarantee it gets done but if "we the people" express much stronger then we have that this is not what we want, it is what we'll get. recognize
