That said a big chunk of this is liberals who are upset that Obama has remained so damn middle of the road centrist throughout his entire Presidency when they thought they elected a liberal.
Nonsense.
He has lost all the conservative support he had (about 25%) and Indies are leaving in droves.
His liberal base will support him no matter what. Same goes for the black vote.
Quinnipiac 44%-48%
Fox 43% - 50%
Rasmussen 46% - 53%
And now 41% for USA/Gallup.
You do know what an average is, don't you? Expect that "average" to head DOWN once this poll is included.
Anti-war people are against anyone who prosecutes a war. That's pretty much the definition of it. Obama is definitely not pro-war, but he knows there are times when it is necessary. He did not believe Iraq was necessary, he does believe going after the actual culprits, in Afghanistan, is necessary. There are a lot on the far left, that do not support the centrist position that Obama follows, but that certainly does not mean those people would then move to support the GOP, which has become far right.
Lame. Obama scaled up troops and isn't really going to pull them back for a loooooong time. Just because HE thinks it's necessary, doesn't mean the anti-war liberals and libertarians are going to drink that neo-con kool-aid.

You're bad at math. I suggest you read Nat Silver at 538.com or read realclearpolitics.com to find out about systematic bias and polling accuracy. You badly need it.
Or then again maybe you want to keep being delusional in which case it will be funny to watch you lose what is left of your mind when Obama is reelected. "I don't understand. The biased rightwing polls said everyone hated him. I thought Palin was a shoe in." LOL!

Golly gee, Nate doesn't seem to have a problem with USA/Gallup OR Rasmussen.
This poll, today, has obama @ 41% approval, 53% disapproval.
That is good news indeed, for the midterms.
I could care less about 2012 right now.
I'm bad at math, says the poster who ignores those polls under 45% when talking about an average.

RCP Average 7/13 - 8/2 -- 44.9 49.9 -5.0
In case you failed to notice, this poll has obama lower than Rasmussen with a larger gap between approval/disapproval.
One other little thing to ponder. This poll is a sample of adults, which will ALWAYS be more favorable to obama. 41% approval is a disaster.

What they are upset about is that they voted for a president with no cajones. He is anything but centrist. He is incredibly smart on paper, incredibly stupid when in charge of leading and decision making. Obama is a clear cut far left liberal. But he is also a puppet, like a dog on a chain, and the pro-war puppeteers are holding the chain. He can only run so far barking before he runs out of chain and his feet come out from under him.
The right, the center and now the left do not like what the idiot in charge in doing.
Consider his sorry butt a one termer and lets go on.
His poll numbers show that only a select few are happy with him. Most of those are not smart enough to even be voting to see what the man is doing to our country.
Hopefully he goes out and campaigns for his buddies in congress.
The Gallup Daily Tracking poll of Obama's approval ratings hit a new low on the August 14 posting of results for 8/12 to 8/14.
A record low approval rate of 43% produces the worst net score ever of -5 (approval 43% minus disapproval of 48%). The old high disapproval record of 49 still stands.
Political types say off-year congressional election results are highly correlated to presidential approval ratings. With this president having the most geographically concentrated supporters in recent history, a LOT of districts are likely to go Republican.
This great news means that the Hopey-Changey Express will be dramatically slowed down, or maybe even knocked off the tracks.
Those who stuck their neck out for him with unpopular votes are fleeing from him.
And just think - only 18 months into his term.
Did not take some people long to find out they made a mistake and know they were scammed by Obama.
He does not have many people left at all who believe in him.
The only followers he has left are those who are waiting for a handout or are so far lost they have no clue other then to follow their leader down the same cliff.
Poor Obama, his failures and mistakes are kinda catching up to him.
