Popular opinion is fickle. It seems highly likely that Barack Obama will at some point cross over 50 percent approval like he did during his first six months in office. But if he keeps arrogantly following the path of socialist policies and foot-in-mouth disease, don’t expect it to occur anytime soon. Rasmussen reports that Obama has a 49 percent approval rating and has a net-minus 11 among those with strongly held opinions. John Hawkins at Right Wing News declared yesterday “Upside Down Day”.

As long as President Obama has lashed his political capital to the ship of government medical overhaul, I hope his numbers continue to plummet.
