No, I’m thinking of his core supporters. It doesn’t take much of a change in these polls to see a slight uptick. -21% is his lowest. We’ve seen it before where he’ll hit a low point then rebound slightly for awhile. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ll stick with what I suspect.

Barry grew very accustomed to giving his big rally speeches and having to say a couple of times, "Wait, someone just fainted over there...just give them some room...let the medical people handle it."

Those days are over.

I think Ras is a sellout. According to him, Obama has lost ZERO approval since December 2009. I find it impossible to believe and no other polling firm confirms his results.

He uses a likely voter screen and those tend to be much more stable. I have no doubt that at least 45% of American voters will vote for Obama in 2012. I just hope we can keep it from being much more than 45%.

Obama could care. I fear that his re-election strategy is not tied to voters or issues or his record. Instead, his strategy seems to be focused on gaming the system so that none of the above matters a wit. Let us look at the evidence:

1) He is seeking to de facto naturalize illegals as a means of jamming the polls with new voters.

2) His Justice department has started an investigation into Fox News based on no evidence but clearly aimed at silencing this network in time for 2012. Now we see reports that the FCC will rely on “Localism” to institute the fairness doctrine and silence talk radio. He has the MSM in his pocket and will bear no media voices other than sycophantic ones.

3) He is working to funnel cash into organizations such as ACORN and working with the public sector unions to help with systematic voter fraud. The test for that one is going on as I write this in Wisconsin.

4) His campaign is raising huge amounts of cash from God knows where to overwhelm the airwaves.

5) An oldie but a goodie, he is planning an old fashion Chicago smear campaign against whoever his opponent is.

Approving of and voting for are two totally different things.

The LV poll should also reveal numbers less favorable to King Asshole yet Rasmussen consistently has higher approval numbers than Gallup.

Experience always counts, and Zero had none. The POTUS is never a place for on-the-job training. He never learns and continues to embrace the same failed policies. His suit is empty!

Don’t know what Ras polls you been reading, but as far as polls go Ras has been one of the more beleivable and certainly has not shown nobama staying the same since he WON.

Obama’s boast that “we will always be a AAA country”

That sounds like something a football coach would say to a team that was down 65 - 0 at the half.

If it were said by a baseball manager, it would be an insult.

There are "major league cities"...and there are "Triple-A towns" -- Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Charlotte.

Baraq a guaranteed loser based on the Carville Precept.

And today’s Fed comments pretty much reinforce the fact that the economy will continue to be lousy in Nov 012.

I didn't say since he 'won', I said since December 2009 (about a year after he won). I call BS bigtime on Rasmussen's results:

Just because he loves socialists and America hating dictators doesn't mean they love him.

The only thing that matters is that George Soros loves him.

AAA countries don’t elect CCC presidents. Until and unless we dump this bozo, we don’t deserve AAA status.

Oh, that’s OK.

The Osama bin Laden movie scheduled for release in October 2012 should bring that approval rating right back up.

If the Super-Lib Gallup is talking about dropping approval rates, then Obama is either taking a huge nose-dive, or else Gallup has finally stopped trying to prop up a President who is dead in the water. I can accept either scenario!

You say , “His trotting out to Dover to pay homage to the slain warriors will probably insure a slight uptick. “

Why is no one addressing the fact that Obama put a target on the back of this team by prancing around after Osama’s demise and announcing over and over to the entire world which team accomplished this. The Seals were angry at the time and stated that Obama put a target on their backs and their family’s back as well. Now many in that team are killed. Who actually believes that this is a coincidence. Thanks to Obama and his rush to get a poll bounce, many good men are dead and many of us do NOT believe his big mouth didn’t play a role in this. Obama’s ignorance and ego makes him a danger to this country and to our troops.

If Gallup is showing 40%, then he is already below 40%.
