I am unsure of the context (if these are aggregate, or from a specific pollister):
Lets try RCP's fantastic aggregate for Obama:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html
Unfortunately, I can't embed the poll. They have Obama at 51.2% approval, and 42.4% disapproval - a 8.8% margin. This is down from a 40-44% margin immediately after inaguration (1/28 through 2/17). He maintained a +30% margin for almost 4 solid months - from January through mid May.
I don't think the entire issue has to do with roadsigns - although I don't think it helps when the road work is being done in places that are perfectly fine!!! I am writing this just 2 miles away from a stretch of road being worked on thanks to the stimulus bill. It did not need any work. Whatsoever. It is a parcel of road that gets worked on every 5 years due to traffic volume. Total waste of cash.
I think Obama's problems are:
- Unrealilistic standards set by his constituency. He was seen as Savior Obama, the Messiah of the evil Bush empire.
- Lack of controlling any agenda. He made a few great moves early on, and I'd say that I even thought he did a fantastic job the first 2-3 weeks of his presidency.
- Lack of experience. Let's face it, the guy is totally green. We thought we bought a Peyton Manning, and we may have purchased a Ryan Leaf.
I hope, for this nations future, and even if it costs another 4yrs of Democrat/leftist rule, he does a good job for America's sake.....But it sure isn't looking that way yet.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
