Flopping Aces has the news.

In fact, the 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953. One president who was not elected to his first term — Harry Truman — had a 13-point drop between his second and third quarters in office in 1945 and 1946

I like this part:

In Obama’s first quarter and second quarter, his job approval average compared favorably with those of prior presidents. But after the drop in his support during the last quarter, his average now ranks near the bottom for presidents at similar points in their presidencies. Only Clinton had a lower third-quarter average among elected presidents. (Gerald Ford averaged 39% during his third quarter in office, in 1975.)

Obama’s 53% third-quarter average is substandard from a broader historical perspective that encompasses all 255 presidential quarters for which Gallup has data going back to 1945. On this basis, Obama’s most recent average ranks 144th, or in the 44th percentile, clearly below average not just for presidents’ third quarters but for all presidents.

Heh, our "below average" President.

My position isn’t difficult to understand.  I want this country to be safe.  I want the people to get back to work.  I want the end of corruption in the government.  I want taxes to be lowered by the government divesting itself of things it is not constitutionally allowed to be doing.  I want welfare restricted to crack down on the leeches on society.  I want freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and the right to bear arms protected.  Because of those views, I want this current governments current initiatives to fail miserably, because they restrict freedom, and ultimately fail this country based on what it was founded on.
