Oh, how times have changed. Barack Obama, who used to fill stadiums with charged-up college students, is now about as popular on campus as a herpes outbreak.
The New York Daily News has the details:
College students’ support for the President is waning — a worrying sign for Democrats who are trying to re-energize young voters before the midterm elections, which are just a couple weeks away. Just 44% approve of the job Obama is doing, while 27% said they are unhappy with his job performance, according to a new Associated Press-mtvU poll.
That’s a significant dip from the 60% who gave the president high marks in a May 2009 poll. Only 15% of college goers had a negative opinion of him back then.
The education of Barack Obama has seen his GPA go into a steady decline. His latest report card shows a surprisingly low C in Public Speaking 401. A C- in Introduction to Golf. A D+ in Geography (he blew the final by answering “57” to the question “How many states are there?”). And, of course, an F in Economics 101.
