The honeymoon is over; in fact, Americans are pretty much realizing . . . this is not the Barack Obama they knew.

The latest Gallup poll is full of astonishingly bad news for President Obama. This poll of adults shows majorities (or near-majorities) disapproving of his performance on every issue except energy policy and global warming.

Obama Job Approval / Disapproval
Energy Policy: 49 / 35
Terrorism: 45 / 47
Global Warming: 44 / 36
The Economy: 44 / 53 (chart)
Health Care: 40 / 53 (chart)
Creating Jobs: 40 / 55
The situation in Afghanistan: 35 / 55

I wonder what the comparable numbers are among registered voters and likely voters.

Maybe it’s a particularly anti-Obama sample. Perhaps Obama can come back. But I think he’s going to need more than big speeches on any one of these areas; he’ll need tangible results: killed or captured high-profile terrorists, real signs of economic growth, a decline in the unemployment rate, some sort of health-care reform that generates tangible benefits quickly, and a sign that our enemies in Afghanistan are being pummelled.
