Of course it’s only a Rasmussen poll. Even taking that with a grain of salt, it’s being compared with the same poll only a month ago.
My advice to Democrats would be to step back, take a deep breath and look around. No worries that they’re are going to take it.
Update: A CNN poll shows the same trend.
According to the poll, which was released Tuesday, 48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them, with 51 percent saying no. That’s a switch from April, when 57 percent said they agreed with the president on important issues, with 41 percent disagreeing.
“Obama is facing crunch time on a number of controversial issues, from health care to financial regulation to cap and trade to Afghanistan,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “The fact that most Americans no longer agree with him on important issues makes his task harder.”
Once can only hope.
