Most people with any common sense would know with the big battles of health care and climate change happening, there is going to be a hit on Obama's poll numbers for awhile.
Especially with a media that parrots the rightwing talking points like they are written in stone and fail to educate the public. they see an opening to pump up imaginary drama and create a controversy out of thin air, which is what they push rather then inform the public of the facts.
