What do you think of the poll: Obama supporters constant, Republican supporters increase 10%?

Does it really matter? I know you want an answer but my answer is that polls don't matter. For one, it is still relatively early in the game. It is still 2011 which means he has until the next November (election day) to give Americans a reason why he should remain in office. Independent voters on the other hand are not exactly loyal to any base. That is why they are independents. They hang in the middle of the road unless a candidate regardless of party gives them a reason to support them. I expect the polls to swing in that direction at least right now. The economy is a big reason as to why many voters would vote against Obama. They feel he is at fault for where the joblessness is, and they are voting out of frustration. Also polls tend to be biased. What are the demographics (other than party)? When I say demographics I mean does that person have a job? Are they unemployed? Are they voting on Republican/Democratic values? Polls are meaningless in the long run. They only tell where voters minds are, not necessarily how they are going to vote in the next election.
