Barack Obama at -16 in Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

In the daily Rasmussen daily tracking poll, conducted during that same baseline period of December 21-23, Obama was at 44%-56% (Rasmussen consistently has Obama's approval lower, and disapproval higher, than other outlets).
With 70+% approval ratings at his inauguration on January 20, 2009, a Gallup daily tracking poll in December showed him at 47%, the lowest point ever reached by a modern American president by December of his first year. In January 2010, CBS and Rasmussen polls both showed him at 46%. A January 2010 CNN poll showed a whopping 47% saying that Obama's presidency is “a failure”. This is a massive blow to the allegedly invincible Obama. Independent voters are fleeing Obama and
