OBAMA HITS NEW LOW IN GALLUP POLL - AT 7:40 P.M. ET:  Although the president's standing in the Gallup poll is still higher than in the Rasmussen survey, he's registering his worst numbers in Gallup since inauguration.

Gallup today has approval of presidential performance at 52%, and disapproval at 42%.  The figures a month ago were 61% and 32%.

Obama has already slipped below 50% in the Rasmussen poll, and is heading there with Gallup.  Not good, not good.  He's at the point now where moderate members of his own party are starting to ask, "Barack who?"
