Mr Popular hits 36% approval

Critical are big losses among white voters with no college degree, white men and independent voters.

Today's job approval rating compares to a negative 40 - 56 percent approval rating in an April 19 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University and a negative 35 - 57 percent score April 4, his lowest approval rating since he became president.

The president is losing support among independent voters and groups which are important parts of his base. Approval ratings are:

I'd lay the odds of that at about 50/50 right now. Shrub was re-installed, after all.

Once * puts the Dem nominee in the 4th-grade Insult Machine, who knows what will happen. We'd better nominate someone who can dish it out and remain charming.

It's not as though they won't still have a Republican president no matter what.
