Obama 41% Approval - Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the job approval of POTUS, today President Obama has a 41% Approval rating, while 51% Disapprove of the Obama record. Folks this not good, it less than 10 months before the November poll, you would think that with the drop in the unemployment rate and the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq that POTUS would at least be able to get over 45% in the Gallup poll. The question does President Obama want to win, if he does he has to change his political strategy, playing to base will not work, he has to get Independents back, they have run from Obama, with the passing of ObamaCare the President it can be argued broke faith with the US voter, who they elected in 2008 in effect conned them, that does not go down well, Obama was seen a liberal Reagan, but the Gipper was pragmatic, he was willing to deal, Obama used the Democratic control of Congress to pander to the base, thus the present bad polls, Obama has to turn right or he will be Carter Mark 2.
