The end of the popularity contest

Time Magazine has a poll out today demonstrating that, “voters like Obama more than his domestic policies.” Time notes,

“In a new TIME poll, 49% of respondents say they approve of the President’s performance, compared to 45% who disapprove. And yet the President’s popularity is at odds with the stinging appraisals of many of his signature policies, which lead 56% of voters to say the U.S. is on the wrong track.”
