As more Americans are getting a good look at what they'll get under Obamacare, Teh One's numbers are slipping further.
Heading into a critical period in the debate over health-care reform, public approval of President Obama’s stewardship on the issue has dropped below the 50 percent threshold for the first time, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
As Hot Air notes, the poll is weighted to independents, slightly underrepresenting both Republicans and Democrats from the last election cycle. But the trend is clear: those much-sought-after independents are starting to see Obama as a traditional tax-and-spend Democrat, rather than some sort of new incarnation.
This should be a disappointment to those trying to argue that the reason Obama's poll numbers are falling is that he isn't liberal enough. The polls indicate that Americans don't want more liberal answers; they want better debate and options for the issues facing our country.
