And .. suddenly ..... they realized .... the sun was setting

A new poll shows that trust in the president is slipping

President Obama's poll numbers plunged over the last month, as the White House faced a backlash over several controversies, including revelations about the National Security Agency's phone and online data-mining programs. A survey released Monday found that Obama's approval rating had dropped by eight percentage points to 45 percent, his lowest in 18 months.

The poll marked a first for Obama — one he won't relish — with half of respondents saying they didn't believe he was honest and trustworthy. Americans were split on the controversial NSA program that tracks phone logs, although they supported the agency's targeting of internet traffic linked to foreign terrorism suspects overseas.
