Marathon Pundit: Gallup: Obama approval numbers on health care and economy hit new lows

I wouldn't be surprised if I have the occasion to repeat that headline. Soon.

From Gallup:

While Obama's approval rating on terrorism has inched up, his approval ratings for handling the economy and healthcare have declined slightly since they were last measured, in late November. His current 40% approval rating on the economy and 37% rating on healthcare are the lowest of his presidency to date. The latter number is of some concern as the president and Congress work toward final legislation on healthcare reform, which could be ironed out later this month. The public is currently divided on this legislation, and the president's leadership may be needed to bridge the gap between House and Senate Democrats while Obama tries to gain greater public backing for the reforms.
