From a historical perspective it really needs to go about 5 or 6 pts higher for Obama to be toast in 2012.

Name me 3 Presidents who won re-election with 50.01 or higher disapproval ratings.

I can name two, Reagan and Clinton.

The point being that anything over 50% disapproval, while not something the White House is smiling about, does not make Obama’s defeat automatic.

NOT factually incorrect. We are talking about Obama’s disapprovals halfway through his term. You did not ask about prior presidents at election time. We don’t know what Obama’s disapprovals will be at election time.
