Virginia voters' attitudes about Barack Obama's job performance have soured, according to results of a Democratic polling outfit's recent survey which suggests more people now rate the president negatively.
Public Policy Polling found that 48 percent of Virginia voters disapprove of Obama's job performance, while 47 percent approve of it.
While that's a slim difference, it represents a significant decline from the 51-44 percent positive margin PPP reported Obama had after Osama bin Laden's death.
The thrill is gone for many voters under age 30 who turned out in 2008 to vote for President Barack Obama by a 2-1 nationwide margin. That support represented the biggest schism between young and older voters in a presidential election since exit polling began in 1972, according to the Pew Research Center in Washington.
This year, fewer than three in 10 voters under age 30 say they will definitely cast ballots in the Nov. 2 congressional elections, down from 36 percent 11 months ago, according to a poll by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics released Oct. 21.
