Doesn't look much like a description of "plunging" would be justified... certainly not when compared with Presidential histories. Looks more like a normal (par for the historical course) post-election and getting-down-to-work poll decline to more normal levels. Actually having to govern normally causes such tightening By the way, I believe that the polls you chose are quite consistent with the Real Clear Politics & FOX reported polls: RCP Poll: Obama: Favorable/Unfavorable RCP Average: +58.2% Details Favorable 73.6% Unfavorable 15.4% Generic Congressional Vote RCP Average: Democrats +9.0% Details Democrats 47.6% Republicans 38.6% foxnews.com
