Uh-huh. So? A poll is a momentary snapshot of the changing (and very fickle) mood of the public. And it keeps changing all the time.

Let's say you are a president, and you're unpopular at the moment. So?   All presidents have faced such moments of unpopularity at some time during their term of office...if not several times.

What should a president do, faced by the absolutely horrifying fact that he is (at the moment) losing popularity?!!! (I'm being humorous.)

Shoud he get stinking drunk?

Or reverse all his decisions in a frantic attempt to be loved again? ;-)

Or start a war? (this usually boosts a president's popularity tremendously in the short run...maybe not in the long run, though, so it's risky.)

Get deeply depressed and jump in front of a bus?

Binge on chocolate and junk food until comatose?

Fight with his cabinet and wife about it?

Or....?

How about this: Just accept the fact that the world is not going to end because your popularity just took a dip this month, and get on with what is, let's face it, not exactly the world's most stress-free job...and remember that the people in the other party are going to hate you no matter what you do anyway. They base their own sense of identity on doing that, so don't expect them to give it up just for you!
