USA...YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET...Obama's Approval Rating Slips On Worries About Jobs, Deficit;"Honeymoon ended"

(CNBC). Public approval of President Obama's job performance has dropped slightly this spring as Americans have grown increasingly concerned about unemployment and the federal budget deficit (NBC News/WSJ poll). The poll shows that 56 percent of Americans give Obama a thumbs-up on his performance as president, down from 61 percent percent in April. The proportion expressing disapproval rose to 34 percent from 30 percent.

Via Politico:
Chuck Todd, NBC News chief White House correspondent and political director, told Brian Williams at the top of “NBC Nightly News”: “The honeymoon is coming to an end for President Obama, but it’s not personal. It’s professional, as now the public appears to be judging the president on some of his actions. And right now there’s a growing concern about the budget deficit, and some of this government interaction into the economy on things like GM.
