Does President Obama Represent American Politics?

Does President Obama represent American politics?


From Gallup






And perhaps for those liberals who'd argue that this all about employment, here is a recent report from Pew Research,

``In fact, the relationship between unemployment and presidential approval varies from crystal clear to murky. Indeed since 1981 there have been a number of times when the ties between changes in joblessness rates and public judgments of the president have been weak or even indiscernible. But the link is strongest when unemployment rises precipitously. And it weakens, or even disappears entirely, when other concerns -- such as national security -- become dominant public issues." (bold highlights mine)

Aside, a stunning come from behind electoral victory in a liberal bailiwick of Massachusetts by Republican Scott Brown, seems to signify a massive symbolical setback to President Obama's programs...

So the answer to the question above appears to be NO!
