It's not going to help him, because most people realize it's a totally political move, and a token one at that. Plus, it won't make his base real happy, if the comments over at the DUmp are any indication thus far.
Bottom line, it's nothing more than lip service, which is about the only thing he IS good at.
No, don't look for much improvement until something substantial happens with the BP spill--that's the major thing driving his strong approval down.
I wonder, at this point, if any remedy to the BP spill ...will help him.
It's what 37-38 days since the leak? I think if it had been fixed within a week to 10 days, some people might have given Obama/the government some acknowledgement that it was Obama's "blustering" that made BP get it fixed quickly.
But now that it's gone on so long, I think it's pretty obvious and will be to most people....that whenever it gets fixed....the "fix" won't be attributed to Obama or any other politician.
Where Obama and the government
might get any benefit from this disaster, will be after the leak is stopped, and how Obama/government takes charge of how BP or anyone else proceeds with the clean-up of US coastline.
