Just ahead of the President's trip to Florida to check out the oil spill, Quinnipiac is out with a poll today showing Obama's job approval taking a dramatic turn for the worse in the Sunshine State.

Six weeks ago, 50% of Floridians approved of the job Obama was doing as President, while 45% disapproved. Today, however, Quinnipiac finds a 54% majority disapproves of how Obama is handling his job as President while just 40% approve - a net swing of 19 points against the President in the last month and a half.

Not surprisingly, those numbers are nearly identical to Floridians' view of Obama's handling of the Gulf oil spill. Just 37% approve of the job he's done on the oil spill, while 54% disapprove of the way he's handled the disaster.
