BTTT!!
Let’s break him! This can be his Waterloo!
Hurry up No ‘Bama! You are losing your political capital...
Unfortunately for the GOP, 0bama’s disapproval is not translating into approval for the Republican party. Americans still don’t feel like Republicans get it. Voters continue to feel like the Republicans have lost their way and are rudderless, and that won’t change until the Republicans shake up their party leadership.
That needs to start in the House, by replacing the ineffectual Boehner with the more charismatic Mike Pence. To be a leader, you need people to want to follow you, and John Boehner doesn’t have that. Mike Pence does.
Real Republican leadership is the missing element to the Republicans’ elusive recovery. If they continue to ignore this into the midterms, their opportunity to regain power will slip away.
It’s a blog. Who is the pollster?
Oh by the end of the week, after the mega media blitz on his speeches, then they will claim he’s back up in the polls...
I've been looking also.

Your statement is not quite true:

Based on Rasmussen data.
Amazing. My chart first posted to FR this morning. I’m famous.

Would be interested to learn something about your methodoloty.
I use Google Docs spreadsheet and a scheme developed by markomalley from Free Republic to plot the below 50% values in red and the above 50% values in blue using two series.
The methodology is simple. You pull the Rasmussen data in from his website and then average the most recent 10 days of the Total Presidential Approval poll and plot it as as the current value. This smooths out the bumps and you get to see the trends a little more clearly. It's like using a low pass filter on the data.
Good work! And have you done the same with Rasmussen's "index" of strongly approve minus strongly disapprove? It jumps around so much that some sort of moving average might give us a better picture of the real trend than we now have.
(I know of course that Ras already uses a 3-day m.a. to compute his index. But it still is too volatile for my taste.)

Excellent! Rasmussen should hire you to do graphics for his organization!
