"The decline in the president's approval rating is largely due to a sharp dropoff in support from Democrats. In the latest Field survey, which polled 1,280 registered voters from Aug. 14 to Aug. 28, 68 percent of Democrats said they approved of the way Obama was handling his job. That was down from 76 percent as recently as June."
