OBAMA AT REDUCED GALLUP – AT 4:51 P.M. ET:  The Gallup presidential approval poll just released confirms the bad news for Obama.

Gallup shows approval and disapproval tied at 47%, the first time in the Gallup poll that disapproval of Obama has tied approval.  This is not as bad a result as Rasmussen is reporting, but Gallup polls among adults, whereas Rasmussen surveys likely voters.  Polls among likely voters tend to show a slightly better number for Republicans.

The president is in trouble, and there's nothing in political sight that will get him out of his problems, unless he makes some course corrections.
