Every day, in every way, Obama scores are sadder and sadder.

On the 14th of November, conservatives shuttered at the news: Obama reaches 50% approval. As I suggested at the time, it was only a very small bubble of approval. Understand that he has spent the past 42 days making 54 campaign appearances, all on the taxpayers dime. He is in his fourth rhetorical strategy and has not been able to move the approval needle in his favor.

Gallup has Obama at 43%, which is the lowest rating in Gallup's history, for this time in a presidential first term. That includes Carter and Truman. A large panel of banking CFO's were asked to grade Obama's presidency. 75% gave him an F in all areas except for a C on terrorism.

Update: understand that Carter had a 51% approval rating 11 months before Election Day. Obama, as stated above, has 43%. Eight points is huge. Also, Galup reports that he has moved from a 54% approval with Independents to a most recent 30% rating, today. The Independent number, alone, will cost Obama the election. Forget about his newly stated strategy of ignoring the white working class vote (we reported on this yesterday).
