Those who disliked and did not vote for Obama are not suddenly reporting to pollsters "disapprove." It is the base that has changed. Ask me. I am the base. My picture was on the front page of MoveOn House party report for calling Texans. I posted two (excellent if I do say so) home-made Go Obama videos. If I got polled today I would report disapproval of Obama -- am I alone? Answer KOS Poll below.
I worked, I campaigned. I thought Obama would fight for People. If I were polled: "How do you feel about Obama's handling of health care reform?" I would say "Disapprove." With no hesitation. Why?
Well it is NOT because I fear a public option, to say the least. No, it is becasue I fear that my time and talent and hope were wasted. Why am I not going to town halls? Because I am demoralized. My In-Laws went bankrupt and lost my husband's family home due to her health and the US health system. I want (at least) a public option. I believed Obama when he said he did too. I am disillusioned. See one of my Obama videos here to note this: I REALLY suported Obama.

See my hope?
I am a liberal. I disapprove of Obama not sticking up for what is needed. I feel betrayed. I think I am why his poll numbers are dropping. I am sick of hearing idiot pundits suppose the drop is due to his "support" of a public option. Get it straight.
The change in poll numbers is a drop -- THIS MEANS some who once to support him are not anymore... which is more likely?
