Underwater?

The polls:
Presidential approval-disapproval:
Rasmussen: 48-51
Others: 56-35

While most polls show Obama with commanding if slipping 56-35 approval numbers, he is now underwater at Rasmussen, 48-51, where he’s been for a week. His June 22 presser was a complete flop, remembered only for raising the Gates-Cambridge flap to week-long headlines. Obama’s earlier order to have a bill on his desk before the August recess has long since been a joke. Numerous directives from Obama, Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, and Steny Hoyer have been laughed off by the Blue Dogs in the House.

Everybody now heads for the August recess, where multitudes of Americans are waiting to express their opposition, and their general displeasure with the Democrats’ failure to improve the economy while proposing costly new measures. The majority media trundle merrily along as if mere road bumps stand between the Democrats and their agenda. But the Democrats have read the poll numbers.

Pray that it's true.
