Getting there: -26 Approval Index

Maybe Mr. Rasmussen should change the name to "disapproval index." Obama has been underwater on this for a long, long time. But today he hits a new low: 19% strongly approve, 45% strongly disapprove. The graphic isn't up yet for today but the numbers are in the trend chart, here.

Even this he blames on someone else: Congress did it!

What they’re frustrated right now is they want me to be able to wrangle Congress and get them moving. And you know, we’ve got this thing, separation of powers, and we don’t have a parliamentary system. And it means that there are times where Congress is gonna do things despite what I say as opposed to because I think this is the right direction for the country.
As usual, he laments his lack of absolute power and blames someone else for his failures. So at least he's consistent.

Q: Why so high?
A: Imagine where it would be if the liberal media demonized him they way they did his predecessor.

Bonus! The unkindest cut of all, via Gallup: Obama Only Two Points Ahead of Ron Paul

Or worse.
