Troubling polls for Obama

A new Gallup poll shows that support for the stimulus package has slipped further.  Although most still want some kind of stimulus package passed, 54% reject the current bill.  Only 38% support it, down from a majority just one week ago.

Another Gallup poll shows that Americans oppose President Obama’s first two executive orders.  By a 58-35 margin, Americans oppose his order reversing the Mexico City policy, thereby allowing the government to spend money for abortions abroad.  And, by a 50-44 margin, Americans oppose his order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.  The latter result is despite enormous positive response from the media.

Nevertheless, the President’s job approval has weakened only slightly, and stands at 66%.
