(Community Matters) President Obama’s approval among Democrats and Independents has been and is much more stable than pundits and headlines would led us to believe. I find it helpful to gain context from those arguing otherwise whether or not they supported the President in the election – usually (almost always) it’s those who argued vehemently against his candidacy who are doing so now.
yes, this does show about a 13pt decline in Independent support since the election (from 62% to 49%), but this is a lot less than the rhetoric suggests, and Independents’ support for Pres Obama has been fairly stable since August.
