.... that not one person in the MSM is noticing.

For the first time in his short stint as the on-the-job Presdient, Obama has dipped below 60%.

The Obama-friendly Newsweek poll is giving him an approval rating of 58% out of 1,203 Americans.

We will know in about a week if other polls show the same trend.

What is most damaging to Obama is the outlook on his ability to fix this current mess. Back in January, right before he took the oath, 48% of the public thought he was the guy. With the margin of error, half of the public thought he could fix it.

Now, 5 weeks in, the public is not so sure, with that number now down to 40%.

And this campaign to paint Rush into this box that he is somehow the leader of the GOP is falling on it's face much like it did for Clinton.

The people polled were asked if they see Rush as the leader of the GOP. An overwhelming number of people say "nope" by 74% not buying it -- and those numbers are consistent amongst BOTH the GOP and the Dems.
