Gallup Daily: Reports on the latest nosedive in the Obama approval ratings, the latest Gallup Daily tracking poll has Obama on 46% job approval and 45% disapproval. Thus since taking office in January of 2009 President Obama has shred 22% off his approval ratings, the Gallup Poll for the first few days of the Obama Presidency had Obama on 68% approval and 12% disapproval. The one issue that has shrunk the Obama appeal has been health care reform, the near obsessive quest for health care reform has split independents from Obama, thus the recent Republican Governor and Senate wins for Republicans. The political strategy of the Obama White House is to push health care reform through and then hope it appeals to the US voter. The Republicans will run with one message in 2010, repeal ObamaCare. If the Republicans take the House and the Senate the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill. This would force Obama to move to the centre or be a very lame duck President for two years. The next question after that is will Obama have the political skills to be the new Bill Clinton, Clinton lost the House in 1994 and thus had to move to the centre of American Politics, he won a second term in 1996. Lets see if Obama can go beyond his ego.
