Today, two new national polls were released, one by the New York Times and CBS, the other by the Wall Street Journal and NBC. News headlines quickly settled on a theme: The polls showed that President Obama's policies were suddenly unpopular:
"Sticker Shock Obama still popular; his policies, not so much" [ABC's The Note]
"Polls find rising concern with Obama on key issues" [Reuters]
"Polls Show Declining Support For Obama Decisions" [U.S. News & World Report's Political Bulletin]
"Obama's popularity: Problems testing it" [Chicago Tribune's The Swamp]
"Is Smooth Sailing' Over for Obama?" [Washington Post]
