Forget the top-line of this new Quinnipiac poll, which shows President Obama’s approval at just 46 percent. Look at where he stands with two key voting groups: independents and white Catholics.
The biggest drop in Obama’s overall approval is among independent voters, who disapprove 51 – 37 percent, down from 46 – 43 percent disapproval…Analyzed by religion, Obama gets a thumbs up from 32 percent of white Protestants, 42 percent of white Roman Catholics and 52 percent of Jews.
For context, in late April, 57 percent of white Catholics were giving Obama’s “a thumbs up.”
