Judged mainly by the reading level of Presidents' speeches over the years, I would say so. That's not necessarily indicative of a universal drop in English language skills, but it's definitely indicative of something. I'm not sure I have a problem with that in and of itself, but thinking of the likely roots of it makes me queasy.
