MORE THUMBS DOWN - AT 9:55 A.M. ET:  A week of mingling and talking at that great student government known as the United Nations hasn't done a thing for President Obama's poll numbers.

In fact, a new Rasmussen poll out this morning shows that those who strongly approve of Obama's performance are at the lowest level since September 7th.  Only 28% strongly approve, while 39% strongly disapprove.

In overall approval, the president stands at 49%, as opposed to 51% who disapprove. 

This is a poll of likely voters, with all polling taking place after the announcement on Friday of the secret Iranian nuclear plant.  The American people apparently aren't rallying 'round the flag flown by this president.
