At six months in office, Obama's 55% approval rating puts him 10th among the 12 post-World War II presidents at this point in their tenures. When he took office, he ranked seventh.

However, there is a widening disconnect between Obama's personal standing and support for the policies he advocates:

• By 49%-47%, those surveyed disapprove of how he is handling the economy, a turnaround from his 55%-42% approval in May. The steepest drop came from conservative and moderate Democrats.

• By 50%-44%, they disapprove of how he is handling health care policy.

• A 59% majority say his proposals call for too much government spending and 52% say they call for too much expansion of government power.

• Expectations of the economy's turnaround are souring a bit. In February, the average prediction for a recovery was 4.1 years; now it's 5.5 years.

• The administration's stimulus package isn't seen as a benefit by most whether viewed in the short term or the long term, in how it will impact the country or individuals. Only a third think it will help their own family's finances in the long run.

I wouldnt put too much stock in people not liking any of his programs when a majority couldnt name one thing about the programs themselves.Its too early and all these polls are just a bunch of negative nellys.


The classic poll is the 59% who think the government powers are being expanded too much.Where were these people during the last administration where it was basically made legal to arrest a US citizen and hold him for years without any charges?

I find it oddly reassuring that you and the black guy who had to get part of his foot cut off share the same political views.

I could have swore you said he was anti Obama during the election.

I remember how people threatening to move to Canada was labeled Pansy anti-american crap by the right during the run up to the iraq war.Funny how things change.
