WA is more liberal... therefore more disappointed with Obama's pandering and lying and flip-flopping and basically direction-less administration

Possibly

That's isn't true at all. Bush only really flip-flopped on foreign policy things, which could be justified by post-9/11 fear (still not a great excuse) and even so, I though Obama was going to bring the troops home? Yeah, I thought so. Obama is far worse of a liar and flip-flopper and panderer. He is so splineless that his party can control everything yet he can't get his own healthcare plan done. Bush managed to push through a worse healthcare plan with far less favorable numbers (Medicare D)

Pandering -- to the money changers

Lying -- lies about non-existent WMDs to get us into a high-profit war in Iraq on behalf of American oil companies.

Flip-flopping? from the definitive free-market (or at least profits Above All Else) to the bailout of failed cronies in the banking industry.

Interesting, though not unexpected, that Obama is losing ground in the mountain west far faster than in the rest of the country. Wisconsin is a surprise as well.

His numbers improved over last month in Wisconsin. all in all SUSA's monthly poll is very erratic so i would really like another reputable poster to confirm before i make conclusions. But so far susa and maybe a republican internal are all that have polled here.

Domestically, George W Bush was spineless. Any one can cut taxes, any one can ramp up spending on the never, never. He neither had the sense nor the guts to make responsible decisions on either taxes or spending - and that was an abdication of responsiblity

Obama is going to have to make tough decisions on both scores. That much is certain. And they won't necessarily be popular either, which will take a spine and, furthermore, demonstrate leadership

Leadership is making decisions that push the ideological comfort zone, rather than comply with it

Yes and in response to the worst economic crisis since the 'Great Depression'

Obama's budget is not George W Bush's budget. Obama's strategy is one of "investment" be it in education, energy and healthcare, and he's committed to a tax policy that rewards WORK Smiley, and that was the nature of largest single tax cut (the Working Families Tax Credit) passed in the AERRA, which the elitist rightwing dogmatoid party in their House alternative to the CBR committed themselves to rolling back

Furthermore, Democrats are committed, moving forward, to "pay-as-you-go", which means any new spending and/or tax cuts have to be offset by cuts in spending and/or tax increases

Are you being serious? Deficit projections show massive budget deficits in the years ahead (worse than the Bush years).

Wisconsin (Wisconsin Policy Research Institute)Sad

57.4% Approve
40.4% Disapprove

The survey of 700 randomly selected Wisconsin adults was conducted by phone with live interviewers from Sept. 27-29.  It was directed by Ken Goldstein, a UW-Madison political science professor, as part of a partnership between the UW Department of Political Science (www.polisci.wisc.edu) and the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (www.wpri.org). The poll has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points. The margin of error will be higher for sub-group analysis. The sample of Wisconsin adults was selected by random digit dialing (RDD) of landline phones; cell-only households were not included.
