Last week I wrote on Obama\’s declining popularity and the hidden story the polls tell:

There is something else to the polls besides what they say.  If you look at them together they tell a hell of a story.  Originally only Rasmussen had Obama below 50%.  Then Quinnipiac did and then Gallup did.  Here is why that’s interesting and meaningful.  Rasmussen uses likely voters in it’s polls, making it the most accurate election-wise.  Quinnipiac uses registered voters, less accurate and tends to favor Democrats.  Gallup and others use adults, which heavily favors Democrats and is virtually meaningless to predict what an election will say.  Which means that Obama was already doing poorly where it counted.  The cancer has spread amongst independents and now he’s doing poorly even by measures where he should be heavily favored.   This anti-Obama sentiment is here to stay and it’s spread to independents and moderate Democrats.  Good luck in 2010 Dems.

It\’s not just limited to Obama personally, his policies and agenda are suffering the same downfall.  Rasmussen has ObamaCare at 53% opposed, 41% supporting.  Gallup is tracking it at 49% opposed, and 44% supporting.  Adults are opposed to ObamaCare, likely voters, even more opposed.  When broken down by party, Independents are breaking against the bill, and the trend is growing.  This issue has turned toxic for Democrats.

The amusing part is that support has increased amongst Democrats and from the howling of the hard left, rather than submitting to public opinion, the loony left has dug in.  So Obama is a damned if you do, damned if you don\’t situation.  Move forward and you lose your ass in 2010 and perhaps beyond.  Kill the bill and your base revolts, which as the Republicans should have learned in 2004, 2006, and 2008 is a bad thing to have happen.

How will the Messiah handle this test of leadership.  If the little experience Obama has is any indication, he\’ll bungle it, which would be hilarious if it weren\’t so serious.
