What’s to account for Obama’s sudden drop in the polls in the last 10 days? He is at 57 percent approval in Gallup and 53 percent in Rasmussen. Other polls show drops as well, though not as steep.
I think the most likely explanation is that some moderates and conservatives who had been amenable to Obama at the start of his term have shifted back due to his perceived weak stance on Iran.
An approach that, until recently, had been fine tuned to please the Mullahs and the foreign policy establishment didn’t resonate with a swath of Americans who are used to seeing their President stand up for democracy and liberty. Even if his stance had some rhyme to its reason, it didn’t necessarily come across as strong or inspiring, especially when Americans are seeing Iranians bloodied in the streets.
Democratic squabbling on health care and continued economic woes aren’t helping, either. Both of these areas aren’t exactly brimming with positivity right now. Meanwhile, North Korea’s situation could also be coming to a head.
It could be a long, hot summer for Obama.
