RASMUSSEN - AT 9:34 A.M. ET:  The daily Rasmussen tracking poll shows the president's overall approval today at 48%, with disapproval at 51%.  In Ras's presidential approval index, measuring the gap between those who strongly approve and strongly disapprove, Mr. Obama stands at minus 9, 29-38%. 

The poll is taken among likely voters and today's result reflects the last polling before the president's great leap backward in Copenhagen, where his bid for the 2016 Olympics for Chicago got the rust medal.

We'll be watching this to see if the Copenhagen fiasco pushes Obama's numbers down further.
