Obama Fighting for Health Care as He Drops in Polls

Obama is struggling in the polls. He is fighting hard to push through Health Care Reform which many in his own Party disagree with. He is heading into yet another Prime Time infomercial to sell us on his plans. The Stimulus Package he sold us has so far failed to produce.

According to Real Clear Politics (Who Averages all the Polls together) has Obama's approval at 55.9% and Disapproval at 38.9%. In just one month Obama ha seen his Approval number drop almost 5% from 60.8%. Even more Troubling for him is that his Disapproval number has shot up more than 6%. He is off drastically from his highs of 65.4% approval and 22.6 Disapproval.

He is banking all his Political Capital left on Health Care which he must hope will rebound him, because the further he drops the more defections you will see from him in his own Party and it could spell doom and gloom at election time for the Democrats.

What could be even more Troubling for the President is that his Party is falling behind in Generic Balloting. RCP has the GOP holding a 4% advantage which has been unheard of in recent years.
