Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away.
Nearly 7 in 10 likely voters say the country is on the wrong track...
...most ominous for the president is that he's now losing support among his own party people. His approval plopped nearly 10% in just one week, from 78% down to 72% in Zogby's latest read.
And, oh, my! Lookee here! Obama has... a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin...

The question is, will he run again?His 35% approval rating on the economy is the lowest of his presidency.

People point to Clinton post midterms, but Clinton did two things:
1. He signed a lot of Republican legislation, including welfare reform... which he swore he wouldn't. (Clinton being who he is, tried on its 10th anniversary, to take credit for its huge success.)
2. He started a stealth campaign on TV in southern states that was under the radar; a brilliant tactic from his mastermind Dick Morris.
Obama won't likely do enough of the first, and the second trick was a one-time only performance, just like Obama's bait-and-switch. Neither are gonna work this time around.
PS. It's the economy Stupid.
