President Barack Obama's job approval rating is down to 42%, with a decline in approval from Democrats the leading factor.
The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 4,518 likely voters conducted from August 28-31 found 48% disapprove and 42% approve of the job Obama is doing. The poll found 75% of Democrats approve of Obama's performance, a drop of 13 points among Democrats from an interactive poll done July 21-24 of this year. That same poll found 48% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance, and 49% disapproving.

In the time between the two aforementioned polls, Zogby conducted a similar interactive survey from Aug. 18-20. That poll found 45% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance and 51% disapproving. So Obama is up very slightly overall from 10 days earlier.
The Aug. 28-31 poll also found that:

Lol, I should have posted #40 first!
Lol, I used that dog for Hillary too - way back.
approval-shmooval. He must be stopped in his quest to turn this nation into a socialist authoritarian state. He still controls the apparatus of power.
THE DOG SHOULD BE CALLED LUCKY...
Exactly. I almost pointed this out in the first post of the thread. It's a big WTF?, that's for sure.
A coup d'état (pronounced /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/, us dict: kōō′·dā·tâ′), or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a legitimate government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment — typically the military — to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military. A coup d’état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fail to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government’s surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces.
Typically, a coup d’état uses the extant government’s power to assume political control of the country. In Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, military historian Edward Luttwak says: "A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder”, thus, armed force (either military or paramilitary) is not a defining feature of a coup d’État.
It goes to 28% after he fails to take action against the animals that murdered our warriors, and The Long Emergency starts. Poll numbers don’t really matter much for many years after. He doesn’t care anyway. He isn’t in love with democracy. He’s in love with seeing America burn.
a) Zogby is a little more prone to rapid shifts, either way;
b) Ras and Zogby both seem to be about two weeks ahead of other pollsters in picking up trends (Gallup was down this week, but still about 4% above Ras, and 10% or so above Zogby);
c) the trendline, no matter who you use is down.
d) With Ras, though, his double tracking of the "strongly disapprove" is interesting in that there is a scant gap now between the "strongly disapprove" and the TOTAL approve, and when those two lines cross, I don't see zero ever recovering from that. When half the public STRONGLY disagrees with what you are doing, all the little speeches in the world aren't gonna help.
Reinforcing those number, Obama’s approval numbers have tied their all time low in the Real Clear Politics average, no doubt reflecting Obama’s dismal numbers in Rasmussen which have a majority of the country disapproving of his job performance.
Measured collectively, the spread between those who approve and those who disapprove of Obama in RCP’s average has narrowed to its historic low of an 8.8 point gap.
When Obama was sworn in as President, there was a 43.3 point gap between his approval and disapproval numbers in favor of approval.

the poll says he’s only at 75-21 among blacks. I find that near impossible to believe. Demos disapporve of him at 13% but blacks disapprove of him at 21%? Unlikely. But this confirms the other polls that he’s dropping. WIth margin of error and everything there’s relaly no diffference between 51% apporval, 48%, 52%, 49%...they’re all the same thing
