This week's polls are a disaster for President Barack Obama. The Rasmussen poll has his approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower — at 42 percent.
Worse yet, he's losing his political base:
People under 30 — long a key element of his support — give him no better than break-even ratings, with 41 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving of the job he's doing, according to Zogby.
Only 75 percent of Democrats, who formerly have supported Obama strongly, now approve of his performance in office. Zogby reports that this represents a slide of more than 10 points over the summer.
Even among blacks, only 74 percent approve of the job he's doing (also a drop of more than 10 points).
Hispanics, who voted for him by a margin of more than 40 points, now break even (36-36) when rating his performance.

Folks, I think we are starting to see some wise Latinas (and Latinos) here.
Things are not looking good for The Bamster. I can’t wait to see his poll numbers drop below 30%.
Ms. Pelosi’s are going down and down and down into the sewer where she lives....I love it.
What Obama needs now is his Youth Movement — trained to terrorize Americans.
I hate to hear like a cynic, but it’s one thing to have people disapprove of the job an official is doing and another thing to get them to decide to try someone new. I would have answered a poll saying I disapproved of Bush’s handling of things like imigration or bailing out financial institutions but I would have still voted for him again over the current crop.
People under 30

I’ve been trying for ten minutes to shed a tear for Bambi... It’s just not gonna happen.
OH, wait a minute... now I’ve started laughing at the ever-falling numbers and the tears of joy are getting my USA t-shirt all wet.
I wish News Max was not News Max.
I think this may be a bit different. Rasmussen has the “strongly approve-strongly disapprove” ratings, and the “strongly disapprove” is well over 40%. Those people aren’t going back to the Obozo no matter what. The “approve-disapprove” on various issues or even overall may be squishy, but I think the “strongly disapprove” won’t vote for him no matter what, and will increase.
Zogby’s even lower than Rasmussen? And by three points? 0beyme must be downing Rolaids by the case.
I'm betting they started jumping ship when he started saying he be willing to compromise on the "public option". That was going to provide free health care for illegals.
Maybe even a few Catholic ones. ;o)
No surprises here, it’s the people under 30 who are getting it in the neck when it comes to unemployment.
