Hey, look, it’s the health-care-passage bounce!

Nah, just kidding.

President Barack Obama’s job approval, which bounced slightly to a 45 – 46 percent split March 25 in the wake of his health care victory, has flattened out at 44 – 46 percent, his lowest approval rating since his inauguration, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today . . .
White voters disapprove 55 – 35 percent while black voters approve 92 – 6 percent.
Obama’s ratings are far superior to Congress, which gets a 71 – 20 percent disapproval. The Supreme Court does better than Obama or Congress, with a 49 – 33 percent approval rating, but this is down from a 62 – 22 percent approval rating June 4, 2009.
Voters disapprove 55 – 40 percent of the way Obama is handling the economy and disapprove 55 – 40 percent of the way he is handling health care. By a narrow 42 – 39 percent margin voters trust Obama, rather than congressional Republicans to handle health care.
But they disapprove 53 – 39 percent of the federal health care overhaul that he recently signed into law.
“The racial split in attitudes toward the President has widened with only slightly more than one in three whites, but virtually all blacks, giving him a thumbs up for his job performance,” said [Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute].
