Headline: Obama’s approval drops to 47% (from 51%)
I was most intrigued by the the following question:
How do you personally feel about the fact that Barack Obama is president?
If you had to choose one of the following descriptions, would you say you feel thrilled, happy, don’t care, unhappy or depressed?
* * * * *
Among all Americans, more are depressed that Obama is President than are thrilled – 14% (up from 4%) to 13% (down from 28%)

Among blacks, 39% are thrilled … down from 61% on Inauguration Day.
