When You’re Perched At The Top Of The Universe….

…there’s no place to go but down. Looks like President Obama is coming into the land of mere mortals, not that the press would portray him that way:

A detailed examination of presidential popularity after 50 days on the job similarly demonstrates a substantial drop in presidential approval relative to other elected presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries. The reason for this decline most likely has to do with doubts about the administration’s policies and their impact on peoples’ lives.

There is also a clear sense in the polling that taxes will increase for all Americans because of the stimulus, notwithstanding what the president has said about taxes going down for 95% of Americans. Close to three-quarters expect that government spending will grow under this administration.

Hell hath no fury like an American scorned. We’ll see how long the love-fest lasts. I’m saying it was over five minutes ago but some don’t want to admit it yet.
