Obama Now Below 50% in Gallup

Ben Smith says at Politico: [1]

President Obama’s job approval numbers will dip below 50% for the first time today in Gallup’s daily tracking poll, according to a Gallup official.

“Gallup Daily tracking results just in. Obama will be below 50% for the first time when we update our numbers at 1:00 p.m.,” wrote Gallup.com managing news editor Lymari Morales on Twitter [2].

His approval numbers have bounced down to the 50% mark several times, driven by weaker support from independents and Republicans, but hadn’t crossed it.

Do you suppose that the judgment of the American people is Obama’s got us going the wrong direction? Couldn’t be, could it?
