A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that, despite a high overall approval rating, President Obama’s leadership on health care reform has lost favor with the public.

Obama’s overall approval rating as President remains a high 59 percent, though below 60 for the first time since the Post and ABC began tracking it. In April, his approval/disapproval on health care was 57/29. Now it’s 49/44. Despite the falling numbers, though, the public still trusts Obama on the issue over Republicans by a wide margin.
