I'll just use the same arguement/excuse typical Obama supporters use when the news isn't favorable for him (without the whiney inflection).

"He's only been in office for a little over 2 months, give him time" (for the numbers to drop). He's running out of people to blame and companies to take over. Enjoy the moment while you Obama supports can. If the economy is going to get worse before it gets better (according to Obama), along with other lapses in judgement due to inexperience and ignorance, I speculate the only positive numbers that will be discussed about Obama here will be his sweetheart book deals.

In regards to the polls, I suppose if I were a gun shop owner/ammo dealer and polled, I too would say the economy is heading in the right direction.
