Democrats and liberal pundits constantly claim that the primary thing driving President Obama’s low approval ratings is the economy. To be more exact, they claim that the president’s low ratings are driven by Americans’ stubborn insistence on blaming him for the economy’s not having shown any strong signs of recovery 18 months and $787,000,000,000 in “economic stimulus” spending into his presidency, instead of giving him the credit that he so justly deserves for having allegedly made the economy better than it allegedly otherwise would have been at this time. But a new poll by the Democratic polling outfit Democracy Corps, and highlighted by Sean Trende over atRealClearPolitics, indicates that President Obama’s biggest problem isn’t the bad economy he inherited or even his general anti-small business agenda, which has no doubt helped to thwart its recovery. Rather, Obama’s biggest problem is Obamacare.
