MORE BAD POLLING NEWS FOR OBAMA - AT 3:10 P.M. ET:  From The Politico:

A new Quinnipiac poll shows President Obama’s approval rating has dropped 13 points over the last two months in Ohio, a key battleground state with plenty of critical Congressional contests in 2010.

Obama now only holds a 49 percent approval rating, with 44 percent of voters disapproving. It’s his lowest approval rating in any Quinnipiac statewide poll taken since Obama’s inauguration. In May, Obama held a 62 percent approval rating in the Buckeye state.

Meanwhile, a 48 percent plurality of Ohio voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy, with 46 percent approving. Two-thirds of Ohio voters are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the state.

COMMENT:  If this trend continues, 2010 could be a free-for-all.  And Obama's legislative program could be blocked...by moderate Democrats trying to prove how moderate they are.
