THE SMOKING GUN – AT 9:12 P.M. ET: Gallup reports a fascinating statistic regarding approval of President Obama:
PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama's job approval rating, which has averaged 50% since Dec. 1, continues to be significantly above that average among Americans with postgraduate education (58%). Among educational groups, only postgraduates show a rating above the majority level.

Send 'em to graduate school, and that's what happens.
Since July, when Obama last registered an approval rating of 60%, the gap in his approval rating between postgraduates and other educational groups has grown, with his support declining proportionately less among postgraduates than among the other groups.
Okay, I admit it, some of this is due to the fact that a large proportion of postgraduates go into education, a notoriously liberal field. That probably tilts the numbers. But, still, we have a Constitutional right to view with alarm and ask what kinda learnin' is goin' on.
