Today's poll: President Palin preferred

Approval ratings are Obama's strength, except when they're not.

Palin: 51%
Obama: 47%

Uh oh.
Not that Sarah has any intention of ever running again. She isn't saying. I rather doubt it. Nonetheless, her views - the reason behind her support - are on the rise, while Obama is going flat.

His tracking poll from Rasmussen today has him at 47%. And Quinnipiac Poll also confirms. The shine is coming off the halo.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent for the first time in polling by Quinnipiac University as U.S. voter discontent grows over the war in Afghanistan.

Obama’s job approval rating fell to 48 percent in the Nov. 9-16 survey of registered voters nationwide by the Hamden, Connecticut-based university, with 42 percent polled saying they disapproved of the job he is doing.

Sarah, however, is doing great with a 51% approval rating. And all while the media attacks her. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they're impotent.
