It was only a matter of time before many center-right and right-leaners, who, fed up with the Bush administration, decided to take the leap and vote for Obama started having second thoughts. Now we have data to back it up. From Politico (emphasis mine).
The GOP polling firm Public Opinion Strategies is offering a solution to Republican candidates as they seek to find a compelling message for the 2010 campaigns: Run to prevent Democrats from having unchecked power in Washington.
The firm released new poll data suggesting that voters would be receptive to such messaging. By a 22-point margin, voters said they preferred a candidate who would be a “check and balance” to President Obama over a candidate “who will help Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress” pass their agenda.
“Our latest national survey provides strong evidence that voters are concerned that they have given too much power to one political party and that Republicans can provide a check and balance,” wrote POS pollster Glen Bolger.

Heh, the voters gave the GOP 28 of the last 40 years. IMO, Obama is
stuck with an awful economic mess and is at least doing something.
Let's give him another couple weeks before we go into gridlock!
Sorry BB, when he wants to move us in a direction conservatives do not want him to go- then blocking him is a viable option
With 85.4% time remaining for the Pres. Its maybe a bit early for major conclusions. Just maybe there may be some significant adjustments
