OBAMA SLIDING AGAIN IN RASMUSSEN POLL – AT 10:27 A.M. ET:  The president makes periodic gains in the leading polls, only to slide back again to depressing numbers.  This is a depressing numbers day:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.

The 24% "strongly approve" number matches the lowest that Rasmussen has recorded for this president.

Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

I don't see where the White House is doing much to reverse these numbers.  Unless the economy shows dramatic improvement, we may well be looking at a one-term president.
