Obama Disapproval Back Up To 51%

As I mentioned yesterday, I am keenly interested in whether or not recent events represent Obama's Fallujah, or his Sadr City.

Obama's disapproval went up +1 to 51%.

Obama's highest weekly disapproval rate was 50%, but this 51% is based on a three-day rolling average, not a weekly snapshot, so those two are not directly comparable.

Obama's highest level of disapproval is 52%, something he's hit twice line the past month (and hit before last August, before the 2010 elections). So the record for the three-day track would be 53%.

Since the track of July 26-28, there have been thirteen three day averages; Obama's disapproval has been at 50% or higher for ten of those thirteen windows. (And was still in the high 40's the three times it was under 50.)

His approval also went up one point, so he's at 41%/51% and on the net no worse than yesterday.

Of course I am hoping that we finally see the long-anticipated break here.
