You can bet the POTUS's slide hasn't reached the bottom yet. The stumblebum had a ton of political capital when he came in, and could have been cruising in the fast lane. Instead his ego mania allowed his Chicago goon staffers to spend that precious resource like sailors spend laundry money! He'll be remembered as one of our greatest windbags. They called Jackson Old Hickory. They'll call BHO "Old Blah-Blah" (or as they say in Arabic, "Old Yada-Yada". In Big Ugly, WV "Old Watch Ur Wallet". In Yonkers he'll be remembered as "Old Boing-Boing"). Gads!

I think the numbers will have some interesting developments after the end of January. If the economic numbers start to show real improvement, his approval numbers may increase.
That said, I have a suspicion that lots of retail stores are holding on until after Christmas - and will close forever shortly thereafter. We shall see...

57% say we're going in the wrong direction...
vs 37% saying were going the right direction...
Still better than the end of the Bush Presidency, but no doubt these numbers are going the wrong direction for Obama...

One thing to remember
One thing to remember - as with President Bush - a good bit of the negative number comes from his own side thinking he's going too far the other way.

What is this Administration's Depth Rating?
At what point do they realize "We're getting a lot of pressure here from not doing what the electorate asked of us. Maybe we better pull up?"
How low will they go before they reach crush depth - the submerged depth at which a submarine's hull will collapse due to pressure?

BHO could use advice from Dr. Egon Spengler...
Seems Obama could use some advice from Dr. Egon Spengler...
http://charts.realclearpolitics.com/1044.epoll.html
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing here. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously
and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
Dr. Peter Venkman: That's bad. Okay. All right, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Guess Obama gets a slight bump for the Nobel Speech Prize today...
RCP Average 12/1 - 12/9 -- 48.6 45.6 +3.0
Rasmussen Reports 12/7 - 12/9 1500 LV 46 53 -7
CBS News/NY Times 12/4 - 12/8 1031 A 50 39 +11 [COMMENT: NOTE THE SOURCE.  ]
So to lighten the mood...
Bush closes the gap
December 09, 2009
Public Policy Polling:
Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor.
Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections.
Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President.

On the RCP composite, more like meaningless and biased liberal surveys cycling into the mix and some more critical ones of actual voters falling off.
