In an article by Peter Wallsten titled, "Obama is fast losing white voters' support: His approval ratings with the crucial bloc have plunged since April Strategists say the healthcare debate is largely to blame, but that's not the only reason."
Job approval rating hit.
Among white Democrats, Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT that the LaLa Times has become infected with a truth bug. No chance. They're selling the health care bill. [Bolding mine.]
Strategists in both parties blame Obama's decline on growing discontent with his policy agenda, particularly after a month of often-rowdy debate over his proposed healthcare overhaul, in which some conservatives accused him of socialism. Obama's ratings seem likely to rise again if he wins passage of healthcare legislation this fall.SURE, pass a bill that makes people furious even to think about and you're popularity will soar. How stupid do they think Congress is?
Well, they really think the public is stupid. Those pesky "controversies" with Van Jones and the lead lawyer from the ACLU who is planning lawsuits over interrogation techniiques was just pshaw stuff.
The idiot journo quotes from Charlie Rangel without acknowledging that no less than the Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal and Constitution's Cynthia Tucker have asked Rangel to step down from the Ways and Means Committee. (Musta have slipped the writer's mind. Or he hopes you won't know about it.)
