If you follow the polls, you’re aware that Rasmussen has had Obama below the 50% mark for a while now.  Those numbers were, of course, dismissed by the left as the ravings of a biased, right wing pollster, desperate to damage our beloved 44th President.  They pointed to Gallup’s relatively high numbers as proof.

Now, however, Gallup’s numbers are catching up with Rasmussen.  Today, for the first time, Gallup shows the President with a sub-50% approval rating.

This means that, according to Gallup, Obama is the fourth fastest President in the race to 49%.

Click HERE for all of Gallup’s info, including a ridiculously long, apologetic missive about how their own polling really doesn’t mean anything.  These numbers, according to the pollsters, are nothing more than symbolic.  They clearly don’t want anyone to worry, and all but promise that Barack will make a comeback.

We would be remiss if we didn’t ask the question: “If the numbers are so meaningless, why bother to take the poll in the first place, Gallup?”
