Re: "According to the Gallup Poll, the Prophet Obama's job approval is now at its lowest since his coronation. It began at 70%. Now it is at 51%."

Yep!

It's relatively easy for a politician to stay popular... just don't take on anything challenging.

Still, there is this little bit of political history to ponder:

As the Gallup officials point out, Obama is in danger of falling below the 50 percent job approval mark with American voters. (He's at 51 percent here in late August.)

So who were the last two presidents who fell quickly below that magical mark?

Ronald Reagan after 10 months of his first term in 1980 and Bill Clinton after four months of his first term in 1992.

Notice the pattern?
