Actually, I do remember right.
As per the link below he was polling very strong heading into early September . . . . . then as the economic meltdown picked up speed, the wheels started to fall off.

Others may suggest different reasons for losing traction but I'll stick with the obvious economic one . . . . . that was a pretty strong headwind for any government anywhere in the world at that time.
In the last week of September and the first week of October, as an example, I think the S&P 500 lost 33%, with other global market matching that.
