Via Zogby:  Obama Job Approval at 41% Hits New Low for 2011

President Barack Obama’s job approval among likely voters dropped to 41% this week, his lowest so far this year and the lowest recorded in an IBOPE Zogby interactive poll since Nov. 22, 2010, when he received 39%.

The percentage of voters who believe Obama deserves re-election fell one percentage point from April 15 to 37%. Approval of Congress fell by the same amount, and is now 21%

And yes, I know some of you objected to Zogby the last time I posted using their numbers.  One suspects that at least some of you will nevertheless like these numbers.

    I like it even if it is Zogby. Maybe the great American unwashed are catching on to the disaster that our manchild president is.

    Gas up…President down…a shocking development that I am sure portends the demise of Entirety of the Progressive project and the beginning of Republican rule for eons.

    Our “manchild” president. Go ahead and call him boy — you know you’re dying to.

    The next election is the GOP’s to lose. Sadly (??) unless they can find someone named “A. Generic Republican,” they can still manage losing quite comfortably.

    Progressives out there: This is what we call in the education business “a teachable moment.” Will you learn from it? I have my doubts.

    And meanwhile, the decidedly GOP-biased Rasmussen poll has Obama at 46%. what does it all mean?
