“Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That matches the lowest level of total approval yet recorded. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove. ”
Rasmussen only polls likely voters which is why it was the most accurate of the polls in the last two elections. However even those who predictably discount Rasmussen because it has a result they don’t like, how would they explain the drop in the same company asking the same questions every day?
What do you think? Does this reflect the country’s opinion of his health care bill?

Question: Now that Obama’s dirty little secret is out of coercing pollsters 2 use an overrepresented black sample…?
Will ABC and NBC give up their selective sampling to keep Obama over 50%?
It was almost undoubtedly coincidental, but a sequence of events occurring over the past few days has put quite a bit of egg on the face of the most venerable pollster in the game: Gallup. Apparently, Rush Limbaugh decided recently to mix his polling analysis with a little racist speculation:
“Gallup has it [Obama's job approval] just teetering there on the
little teeter-totter at 50%, and they’re doing everything they can,
they’re upping the sample of black Americans, to keep him at 50% in
the Gallup poll.”
This, of course, is an incredibly serious accusation, and it led to a sharp denial from Gallup polling head Frank Newport on Thursday. But what happened on Friday? Gallup’s tracking poll broke the barrier and found Obama at 49%. No word on how many seconds into his broadcast it took for Limbaugh to claim the credit and proclaim his infallibility.
