You have no doubt read the President’s poll numbers have plunged. 

There is little mystery why this is. The plunge has nothing to do with race. It has nothing to do with organized protests. Nothing to do with his wife’s fashion sense. Nothing to do with the President being over-exposed on television.

The numbers are going down because the President and Congress keep proposing things that most Americans do not like. No sooner does the furor simmer down from one issue then these guys propose something else that most folks do not want.

If you want a better sense of this, visit Rasmussen and some of the other pollsters online.

Closing the Gitmo prisons is something they have polled. The President says he will do it. Yet about 55 percent of Americans oppose it. A majority of voters disagree with his decision.

Well, Tom, sometimes a president has to make an unpopular decision or two. The number has grown well beyond two.

The ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program should have been really popular. It was like a welfare giveaway. It would help beleaguered car dealers. Yet only one American in three felt the program helped the economy.

Only one American in three favors the big stimulus package. And this is a gain from an earlier poll. That is an anemic level of support for such a humongous spending bill. The President insisted this spending package was absolutely essential for our survival. Only a third of voters agreed.
