Conservatives have good reason to be encouraged. Here is why.

The image to the left is from Rasmussen and charts the history of Obama's daily approval numbers from his first day in office.

One of the reasons for me being "down" with Obama's defeat, in 2012, is the fact with his first day in office, his approval rating was 65%. and, today, he is consistently running in the 40 to 45 percentile range, a loss of 20 points.

When this reality is juxtaposed to the fact that the man spent a billion dollars to win an election by just 7% of the vote, well, we have cause to be encouraged. Understand that much is being made of Obama's plans to raise a billion dollars during this campaign cycle. News flash: he already did that. In 2008, his reported revenues were close to $800 million, just shy of that billion dollar mark. Considering that he has refused - to this day - to reveal the sources of $400 million of his campaign stash, gives me license to allow for even more money collected than his minions have reported; a "billion dollars" is just around the corner.

Also, keep in mind the fact that McCain was the most unpopular GOP choice in my life-time. Couple this with the reality that his campaign brought in half the revenues of Obama, and the 7% victory becomes even more significant. Understand, the 2008 election was a landslide for the Progressives/Radical Marxist/ Liberal/One World/ Borderless side of the aisle, but not for Obama. Seven percent is hardly a "landslide."

The Rasmussen chart brings the question home, in triplicate:

how does Obama win the coming election when he needed an approving public opinion of 65% to win the first election by 7% ?
