Just for the heck of it I decided to plot a very long term average for the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index. We've been using a 10 day average to smooth out the bumps but this time I'm using a 60 day average for a longer term view of the trend.
It's an interesting plot. It shows very distinct periods of Obama's approval falling and fairly long periods of stability. I'll leave to the Freeper-Analysts to explain it. In any case, we are back on track with a fairly long term down trend that looks to me like it has legs.
Note that I've cut off the first 60 days of the index just to keep the spreadsheet simple.
Here it is:

Now THAT is one ugly chart for Obozo. Ouch!
His negatives will only rise as ObamaCare inches closer to passage, and blossom if/when he signs it.
The Libs HATE the bill, as does the rest of the nation.
He will NOT have the political capital to pass Amnesty or anything else next year. Bwa-ha-ha!
Obama is a liar. More and more Americans are waking up to that fact.
The first 3-mo drop I attribute to the tanking stock market, which turned around and went up while Obama's numbers stabilized.
The big second downleg going from positive to negative territory has to do with worsening unemployment, eligibility ("birthers") issues, and the beer summit. This occurred in the summer.
Finally, the downleg at the end of year has to do with KSM trial, West Point speech, quo warranto lawsuits about eligibility, and, Obamacare.
Well we know how predictive computer models can be. Could you extrapolate that out about 30 years, just to see if people are warming up to him by then.
