HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is "Gateway Pundit" a COMPLETE IDIOT (incapable of reading and understanding the most simple of charts?)
Or was his post a deliberate joke, (like I assume yours must have been?)
Because the Rasmussen Poll most certainly DID NOT (and does not) say that "Obama Popularity Plunges-- Down 22 Points in 40 Days "
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rasmussen's latest daily poll reports 58% of all voters 'approve' (weakly or strongly) of President Obama's performance --- which is ENTIRELY CONSISTENT with other major pollsters (Gallup, FOX, CBS/Knowledge Networks, etc.) who's daily tracking polls have ranged between 59% and 69% approval numbers for the President at various times over the past few months.
ALL THE POLLS --- including the one you post (Rasmussen) report fairly strong levels of support for the President, and EXTREMELY CONSISTENT support levels. As Rasmussen describes it: [strongly approve] That figure has remained fairly stable....
Go straight to Rasmussen and see:

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Monday, March 02, 2009
rasmussenreports.com
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 39% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. That figure has remained fairly stable in the upper-30s for most of the past month. Following both national prime time television performances in February, the President enjoyed slightly higher ratings for a few days.
Twenty-nine percent (29%) now Strongly Disapprove to give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +10 (see trends). The number who Strongly Disapprove grew modestly from the low-20s early in February to the high-20s later in the month.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of liberals Strongly Approve of the President’s performance while 54% of conservatives Strongly Disapprove. Among political moderates, 42% Strongly Approve and 16% Strongly Disapprove (see other recent demographic highlights).
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter. Overall, 58% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 41% disapprove. For more measures, see Obama By the Numbers.
The number of Republicans in the country increased a bit during February, but Democrats still retain a huge advantage in terms of partisan identification. Consumer and investor confidence fell to record lows in February.

Get a CLUE, Peter: "total approval" is a DIFFERENT (more inclusive) number then just looking at the strongest, and most committed support! :-)
