In this poll you can literally see that the president lost the month of august as his overall rating went dramatically down (pssst it went down just 3% from 56% in July to 53% in August)
The decline in general approval had a way of expressing itself in disapproval of Obama's health care policy but also what people thought of him as a custodian of USA.inc

let me first give you the raw statistics and then I will point to some correlations.
Month: September August July
approval: 58% 53% 56%
disapproval 40% 45% 40%
This means that equal number (40%) disapproved of him in July as do today.
In July HCR was not even on the RADAR.
you could say that Obama is a Magical orator that moves numbers whenever he speaks ....or you could say that the 5% increase in disapproval, came from people who liked the guy but just though he was missing in action during the terrible august.
Approval numbers concerning Health Care Reform (health insurance reform)
Month: September August
approval: 51% 45%
disapproval 47% 53%
here again we have (5%) drop in disapproval from August to September.
we see these same (4-6%) drop in disapproval in almost every policy area
from HCR to Economy to foreign policy.
Opposition to HCR
Month: September August July
support: 51% 48% 50%
oppose 46% 51% 45%
*GOP obstructionism has been noticed
Constructive 35%
Obstructionist 61%
No opinion 5%
35% of America is Amurka.
Those were the GOOD one now some BAAAAD poll numbers
WOULD THE GOVERMENT TAKE OVER HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Would happen 55%
Would not happen 42%
If Obama's plan became law, do you think that the federal government would or would not provide insurance to illegal immigrants?
Sept. 11-13
2009
Would happen 47%
Would not happen 49%
These numbers are driven by resentment toward "others" this is what Baucus and Conrad are dealing with, so next time give them so slack.
85% of Americans say RESPECT POTUS and 15% say town-hall now town-hall forever.
60% think Obama did not lie (even though 49% believe that undocumented workers would be covered)
32% say Obama actually lied about illegals not bee covered, now this migth be a big number but in reality 49% BELIVE so (sense they don't have facts on there side we must say they believe so and not they THINK so)
so over all you have 58-60% of Americans who believe that the president is honest and like what he is doing and then there are 35-40% who inhabit the magical country where Regan never aged and Bush was a misunderestimated genius
would it surprise you to know that the people who dissaprove of Obama al´so believ in Sarah Palins "Plain and Simple lie" that there are death panels
agree : 41%
disagree: 57%
Amurka is a big country but not as BIG as USA.
