TNR: Obama in Jeopardy

William Galston, writing in The New Republic, crunches numbers from many established polls and reaches this conclusion:
Obama’s vital signs look dicey. Over the past 33 months, his job approval has been lower than George W. Bush’s at a comparable time in his presidency for all but one week. (snip) And the famous “wrong track” measure now stands at 63 percent, versus 55 percent in the days preceding the vote in 2004. If these two numbers don’t improve for Obama, his presidency will be in jeopardy.
