Not only that, but for the first time, a majority disapprove of Obama in ALL income groups, including the poor. He can't get reelected with approval numbers this bad.

Obama job approval hits 5-month low in Gallup poll

It could be gas prices, the budget debate, or simply the usual ups and downs of public opinion polling. But President Obama's approval rating has dipped to a five-month low in Gallup's daily tracking poll, reverting to post-midterm election lows.

The survey, a three-day rolling average conducted April 11-13, pegs Obama's approval at 42%, the lowest since Nov. 10-12. For only the 13th time in his term and the first time since late October, his disapproval rating has reached 50%.

Since the self-described "shellacking" of his party last November, Obama's numbers have zig-zagged within a 9-point range, from the low of 42% to a high of 51%. He enjoyed a sustained upward trend after the tax cuts compromise in December's lame duck session of Congress.

Any boost he may have gained from last Friday's 11th hour compromise may be offset by other economic concerns, particularly higher fuel prices.

The White House routinely dismisses polling data. But it's a troublesome footnote as the president kicks off his re-election effort Thursday.

Really? At this point in their first terms, both Reagan and Clinton had lower approval ratings than Obama has now.

How'd that work out for them?
