The main answer in New Jersey is moderates, regardless of their party affiliations. He went from 78% to 69% with moderate Democrats, 29% to 20% with moderate Republicans, and most damaging 59% to 39% with moderate independents.
The other group he saw a significant drop with was conservative independents, from 20% to 9%.
When we compared his national numbers from April to August we did not find any drop yet among moderate Democrats or moderate Republicans so it will be interesting next week on our forthcoming national poll to see if that's a broader trend or just likely Gubernatorial voters in New Jersey.
One group Obama continues to have no trouble with is liberal Democrats: his approval with them shot from 94% to 98%.

it looks like approval among conservative Democrats went up even more !
That just looks weird... approval went up among both liberal Democrats and conservative Democrats, but down among moderate Democrats?
