Obama's Approval Dip - -7%!

Rasmussen tracks two figures - those that just plain approve (less the disapprovals), and then those that strongly approve (less the strong disapprovals). The plain approvals hit an all-time low today, at -7% (yesterday was at -5%). If you analyze both statistics - one thing is apparent - he's lost whatever republican support that he had 8 months ago. Also, he's losing the independents in droves. Obama still has a core of 30% who strongly approve of him and most of these people are hard-core left wingers. This core percentage will only break if Obama starts annoying the liberals, and it's usually the last group of people to go, but when healthcare is denied, this group will crack too. What's amazing to me is how quickly the moderates and independents have turned on him. What's also incredible is that the percentage of Americans who strongly disapprove of him is approaching GW's 43% level (41% today) at the end of his presidency.

A presidency in trouble? It looks to be the case.
