Are President Obama’s declining poll numbers on his handling of the economy a result of overexposure?

Earlier, I, too, argued that the President is grossly over-exposed in the media. I am beginning to rethink that traditional take. As in social media and so many other venues, Mr. Obama is rewriting the rules. For this year, at least, he is gambling that his omnipresent exposure is the best way to transform his personal popularity into spendable political capital. So far, judging by most of his ratings and some early successes, it is working.

Why, then, a decline in the numbers of his handling of the economy? Below is a chart from The Washington Post. As this reality sinks in, the president’s overall numbers will sink as well. Beyond rhetorical blandishments, he will need a substantive response.
