I think these people are parting way too early:

Obama’s day of reckoning has already come, here in the infancy of his presidency, as the polls each passing day attest. He could go through the pretense of being a centrist leader for a few precious weeks, maybe even months, but the real political center for him is so remote and so foreign that in the end the act of pretending would be as distasteful for him as his “normal” policies are for increasing numbers of Americans.

Oh he’s doomed DOOMED I tell you, Rasmussen has him at 46, Zogby at 42. Obamacare is dying. There is talk about re-taking the house in 2010.

I think if we take this stuff too seriously then we make the same mistake as the left was doing 7 months ago. It only takes one crisis, one mistake or one big issue to turn everything around. If his numbers can drop like that in 7 months they can just as easily rise back up.

Overconfidence is a dangerous thing. I know it’s only been two weeks or so since I said it before but it’s still just as true as ever.
