Obama losing popularity?

Recently a poll was taken on the popularity of Obama's recent stimulus plan for our economy.
With a 56% opposition against the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, result show it seems that tides are turning against our current president. With a 54% support and a 44% opposition to the act just in March, we can easily see a decrease in approval towards Obama's agenda.
The article has the full survey and results taken by the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation.
It is a natural trend for President's approval ratings to generally decrease gradually throughout ones presidency as we have learned in government class. As we all hope, Obama's agenda does not turn for the worst and that he is actually able to better our country but can this be the start of his downfall? Are there any other results of his success or failure in his agenda?

I'm not sure how others may feel about our current president, but personally, when he was just coming into office, I hoped that the US would be facing some positive change after the much-too-long term of Bush. But once the order of pushing more troops into the war was made, that hope started to falter. Now, I'm not quite sure where I stand about Obama, but I only hope that his claims during campaigning will come through... soon.
