Gallup: Obama Hits New Low In Daily Track at 42%

This is on the front page; if you click through to the Approval Rate poll, it seems to still have yesterday's 43/48 spilt.

Today it's 42/49.

I think that we're going to see a 39 number by week's end. Obama has removed the mask, crossed the Rubicon. He won't even permit those who wish to convince themselves that they're smart and were not conned by an odious charlatan to keep on believing the lies they're telling themselves.

He wants everyone to know exactly who he is and what he is. The message will sink in for a lot of people this week.

Meanwhile, another poll finds independents itching to replace Democratic rule with one less hostile to their bitter, clingy values.

Only 32 percent of those citing no allegiance to either major party say they want Democrats to keep control of Congress in this November's elections, according to combined results of recent Associated Press-GfK polls. That's way down from the 52 percent of independents who backed Obama over Republican Sen. John McCain two years ago, and the 49 percent to 41 percent edge by which they preferred Democratic candidates for the House in that election, according to exit polls of voters....

Ominously for Democrats, independents trust Republicans more on the economy by a modest but telling 42 percent to 36 percent.

The poll claims that overall, it's 44-41 in the Democrats' favor, but I smell a big Democrat bias there.

And check this out:

There's even erosion among minorities. While 8 in 10 voted for Obama, fewer than two-thirds want a Democratic Congress, and 1 in 9 don't care which party controls.

I can't seem to find what percentage of independents want the GOP to take control -- I see the number for Democrat control is 32%, but a quickie Google search doesn't turn up the other number.
