A new CNN poll has a curious result: President Obama now has a net disapproval among independents — but his overall top-line approval is still in positive territory.

Obama’s top-line approval is 53%, with 45% disapproval. Among independents, however, he’s at 43%-53%. Nine out of ten Democrats approve of Obama, with the large amount of Dems keeping him up.

Obama also attracts a majority approval on foreign policy and terrorism, but majority disapproval on other key issues: Health care, taxes, the economy and the budget deficit.
