"Obama Job Approval Slips to 58% for First Time."





That's the headline currently on drudge report. But when one considers that His Majesty's approval rating in Gallup tracking has averaged around 63% since he took office (see linked article), the 58% number does not strike me as some earth-shattering figure on its face. However, much more significant to me is a breakdown I saw on Meet the Press this morning, indicating that Obama's disapproval rating amongst us Independents -- a figure that was only at 31% in the past -- has now ballooned to 44%. Might want to keep your eye on the Independents, Majesty.
