Tracking Poll Down to +2

Rasmussen Reports does a daily tracking poll on presidential popularity. His Presidential Approval Index is the number who Strongly Approve (34%) minus the number who Strongly Disapprove (32%) or a less-than-stellar +2. In addition, Rasmussen finds:
Overall, 54% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. That’s his lowest total approval rating to date. (emphasis added)
Shaking hands with dictators and left-wing caudillos doesn't help a president's image here at home. Neither does apologizing in Europe for America's behavior.

Have I said "it's going to be a long four years" so far this week?
