Gallup: Obama at Another New Low

The Gallup polling organization does a three day rolling average of the public's approval of the president. This posting shows the president's approval level having fallen to 38% and his disapproval having risen to 54%.

More important is the trend line for the last two months, see Gallup's graph. Obama has lost about 6% a month for two months and at this rate of decline would only take another six months to reach zero.

Obviously he won't reach zero; every president has a core constituency who stay with him to the end. Still, Team Obama must find the decline dispiriting.
