Or so says the latest CBS/NYTimes poll,which shows The One’s approval ratings taking a hit:.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating went from a positive 50 – 43 split last month to a 41 – 47 negative one in the newest CBS News/New York Times poll. But that only brought his lead against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney down three points nationally in the poll, 47 – 44, having been up on Romney 48 – 42 in February.

Because if he were a cracker that was destroying the economy and working toward a radical transformation of our national ideals, he’d be a shoe-in already.
