47-48% would seem to be the new norm.

I'm going to wait until mid-November, unless there is some real serious movement. I wonder if the elections are playing their toll on the forever campaigning president. There are also a lot of negative ads concerning him, also.

The meme continues to die about people liking Obama personally but just disapproving of his performance.  He dropped a net 16 points in favorability.  This poll is also of all adults, so Obama hacks and Northeastern Republicans cannot say that his numbers are low because Obama's voters aren't turning out.

The Gallup on his favorability is consistent with the CT poll that Suffolk just released.  It has his favorables in CT at 54/40.  54% in CT gets about to around 46-47% favorability nationwide while 40% unfavorables gets him to around 48% unfavorables.  So obama being underwater in favorability is consistent with the state-by-state polling that we've seen in Washington, Michigan, and Florida.

Approve 46%, -1.

Disapprove 53%, +1.

"Strongly Approve" is at 27%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 44%, +1.


The Approve and Disapprove numbers are probably in the middle of MOE.

The negative ads could backfire as they seem to be doing in some  Senate races.

Great news from Gallup!

I see that the Democrat Party has ramped up its attack on Gallup.

Yeah, that's only 1 point off his all-time lows, which is weird if you consider he was positive a few days ago.

This trend will probably continue up until election day at least (wildly varying numbers), and will probably level off once the politics cools down in the month of December.

What? Why is a Thai political party attacking an American pollster?

In case you were wondering, the Democrat Party has claimed that Gallup's likely voter model is far too republican-friendly.

But that criticism wouldn't apply to what gallup is finding for Obama among adults and registered voters.

I really don't know why a Thai political party is this involved in American politics. It's really mind-boggling.

I don't even get the whole "Democrat" thing. I mean, I know it's a sure sign that the person speaking is a hack, but other than that... is it some kind of play on the word "rat"? Huh

Hey "true 'Republican,'" why don't you tell me again how conservative the New Jersey Republican electorate is?

Missouri

35/51 favorable/unfavorable.  He won 49% of the vote in the state.  Assuming the trends in Missouri hold up nationally, his favorable rating would be 39%.

Assuming this trend holds up Nationally, his approval rating should be about 43%

And among likely voters it's 49-47. Ouch.

Edit: Although it's hard to see how you can only have 55% approval if 81% of liberals, 64% of moderates and 30% of conservatives approve of the job you are doing.
