It's starting - the beginning of the broad public perception that the president is not helping the economic situation. The polls are generally not showing this yet, which causes some consternation in conservative circles.
I think there is a rational explanation for it. People rally around the president in times of trouble. Many forget that President Bush's approval rating topped over 90% after 9/11. It continued over 60% through 2003.
It is going to take time for all of the terrible economic news, and Obama's often puzzling responses to it, to filter down to public opinion polls.
But there is no doubt that plunging economic numbers are beginning to raise doubts.
