Ohio Approval Poll Down!
Is the honey moon nearing an end? Headlines are ominous:
“Unemployment approaches 10%.”
“Retail sales cause concern.”
“The President’s party is divided over healthcare.”
“Stimulus II is being considered.”
A signal that trouble may be ahead for the President is reflected in his recent approval rating in Ohio. Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,259 voters in Ohio from June 26 to July 7. The poll found that 49% of voters disapprove of the job President Obama is doing, while 44% approve. That is 13 points down from May.
“The economy in Ohio is as bad as anywhere in America. These numbers indicate that for the first time voters have decided that President Barack Obama bears some responsibility for their problems,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Perhaps the audience with the Pope today is appropriate!
