Obama Approval Rating Hits Another All-Time Low

Wow - he hasn't been president for 6 months yet, but his approval ratings are plummeting. Rasmussen has his total approval rating at +5 (from +35 in January). And his strong approval/strong disapproval rating is now at -3 (from +30 in January). Just for kicks: how many percentage points in the polls would a -30% in approval ratings indicate? I think it depends on the candidate, but even if a McCain were running against Obama today, my guess is he'd pick up at least 3%. This would put Obama in deep doo-doo.

The mainstream media continues to talk about Sanford and Palin. Fair enough. But I think the fact that Obama continues to lose in the face of negative GOP news has got to be troubling for Obama supporters.
