Obama below 50% - Quinnipiac University poll

The Hill: Reports that in a Quinnipiac University Poll, the approval rating for President Obama has fallen below the symbolic 50% mark. The Hill states its down the Economy and Afghanistan. What is interesting is the effect this will have on moderate and conservative Democrats on the Hill. Will the Liberal Senate Leadership on the hill be able to push through their health care reform bill, they need 60 votes in the Senate, its 50/50 if they have the votes even to get started on the bill. Also lets not forget the Taliban / Al Qaeda are looking at American politics, they will see a weak President, thus if your the Taliban what do you do, yes you increase the pressure, thus more attacks in Afghanistan, you increase the body bags, the Taliban in Pakistan can see that at the end of the day the US might not come to the aid of the secular government of Pakistan, thus more attacks on the civic structure of Pakistan. The two rogue nations of Iran and North Korea think they can bully Obama, he is weak at home, the US economy is a mess, the US is still in Iraq and Afghanistan, thus what can Obama really do about these rogue nations, not a lot. Also China might think that since in effect they are the bankers of the USA they might try some military move on Taiwan. Thus US voter that is what you get when you elected President Obama, are you happy ?
