There has been a lot of talk today about a new CNN poll finding Obama now losing the independents. When I dug deeper into this poll I found something very interesting:
The first column is approve and the second is disapprove. If you look you will see the numbers have done a reversal since March. Now what has changed since then? Well that’s simple. Back in March Obama was strongly supporting a public option. Now he is wavering on it.
If the White House doesn’t get back on the message it had during the Spring, or even the message that brought him into office, then we won’t only lose the chance of having a public option, but also Obama can kiss his presidency good bye.
