The honeymoon is over

The latest Rasmussen poll shows President Obama falling to earth:

  • A slim majority still approve of the president’s job performance, but by a narrower margin (53-46) than President Bush (52-34) on July 3, 2001.
  • More strongly disapprove of the president (35) than strongly approve (33).
  • Only 42% rate the president excellent or good on economic issues, against 39% poor.
  • A strong majority say that the stimulus has not helped; 31% say it helped, 30% say it hurt, and 31% say it had no impact.
  • A majority disapprove of the president on national security (44-55) (not in the free article, related by Ed Morrissey).
  • Independents oppose the president by a wide margin (either 75-23 or 68-31) (also related by Morrissey).
