Popularity Sags

Less than two weeks ago, on April 21 we wrote that the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index had dropped to a new low of +2. Today it has dropped to a lower low of +1 since the percentage of voters who Strongly Approve (33%) minus the percentage who Strongly Disapprove (32%) equals the Presidential Approval Index of +1, a new low for President Obama. Here is the relevant Rasmussen Report.

One wonders just how soon this indicator will drop into negative territory? Almost certainly by the end of the second hundred days; that gives us something to which to look forward.
