Obama Poll Numbers Dropping Fast This Week

Just about every day, I check out Realclearpolitics.com and get my update on President Obama's poll numbers. The numbers had stabilized in recent weeks after a slow, inexorable decline.

This week, however, I have noticed a rapid drop. Just last week, I had seen a Gallup poll at 51 approve and 42 disapprove. Rasmussen had him at about 48 approve and 51 disapprove. This week those numbers are 46-46 for Gallup and this morning, Rasmussen had him at 44 to 55.

These are the two polls I follow most closely. I pretty much ignore any poll taken by ABC, CBS and NBC as those polls ALWAYS show higher numbers for Obama. The Gallup poll is a poll of all voters, while Rasmussen sticks with Likely Voters. Likely voters are people like myself, who pay more attention to what is going on in the world.

I have no idea why Obama's numbers are taking a dive this week. Could it be the stock market nosedive? The lack of results in getting the BP Gulf of Mexico situation cleaned up? The problems in Europe?

All I can say is that if his numbers continue to plunge, Democrats will be in big trouble in November, and they know it!
