The Thrill Is Gone

Those college students who helped put Barack Obama in the White House in 2008 have turned their back on the Chosen One, according to a new poll.

Obama's job approval ratings among college students, which was at 60 percent a year ago, has dropped to 44 percent, according to an n Associated Press-mtvU poll released today.

From The Associated Press:
An Associated Press-mtvU poll found college students cooling in their support for President Barack Obama, a fresh sign of trouble for Democrats struggling to rekindle enthusiasm among many of these newest voters for the crucial midterm elections in three weeks.

Forty-four percent of students approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 27 percent are unhappy with his stewardship, according to the survey conducted late last month. That's a significant drop from the 60 percent who gave the president high marks in a May 2009 poll. Only 15 percent had a negative opinion back then.
