He spoke to packed crowds every where he went in Virginia. And he became the first democrat since LBJ to win the state in a presidential election. But a new poll shows that President Barack Obama's popularity is starting to dip here in the commonwealth.

The Public Policy Polling survey shows the president's approval rating in Virginia at 48%. Prior polls from the same group had it above 50%.

The survey shows the president is a very polarizing figure in the commonwealth, getting good marks from 95% of democrats, but just 9% of republicans.
