As I read the report on the numbers the message I get is that American's generally still like the president... they just don't like what he and congress are doing job wise...

The numbers for congress are even worse... which bolsters my position... and there is an election day coming.

Obama's Approval Rating Dips to New Low

President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News poll.

That rating is Mr. Obama's lowest yet in CBS News polling, and the poll marks the first time his approval rating has fallen below the 50 percent mark. Forty-one percent now say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president.

In last month's CBS News poll, 50 percent of Americans approved of how the president was handling his job, while thirty-nine percent disapproved....

Do I think they are paying attention?

Nope... but...

Job evaluation time is just around the corner.
