Obama's Polls Take a Dip

In the midst of the Tuscon crisis, Obama took upon his presidential social powers quite favorably amongst the American people. But his lack of presence in the social media due to tremulous political times has possibly caused a dip in his followers' enthusiasm. Politico reports:

Dipping a bit from heights reached in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings, President Barack Obama’s approval rating is hovering at or just above 50 percent in a pair of polls released Tuesday.
Fifty percent of Americans surveyed for a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said they approve of how the president is handling his job, while 51 percent of those surveyed for an ABC News/Washington Post poll said they approve of how Obama is doing.

Obama’s approval rating reached as high as 55 percent in January in a CNN poll conducted just after he delivered his State of the Union address. Another CNN poll, conducted earlier in January, had the president’s approval rating at 53 percent, as he rode positive sentiments from his response to the shooting that killed six and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). His approval rating in the CNN poll was last below 50 percent in mid-December, when 48 percent of those surveyed said they approved of how the president was doing and 48 disapproved

Forced to exercise his political prowess at the moment, Obama has had no time to practice his social skills. Disrupting wold crises shake the faith of people in many aspects, one being the President and his reactions. If anything positive can be taken away from the momentary worldwide devastation, hopefully it is that Obama will be able to step in and provide substantial foreign aid.
