Fifty percent of likely voters now rate President Obama’s performance on the economy as “poor.” They’re right, unfortunately. That number will no doubt improve a little bit when the economy finally starts to improve, but the economy is a little like the oil spill: sure, it will get better someday, but by that time it will be too late for most Americans to see the administration as having acted effectively. At this point, it’s damage control.
