Regardless of Obama’s “evolved” moved to gay marriage, his campaign isn’t liking these numbers

This is NOT good.  These reports from Rasmussen (from yesterday on the left, today on the right) cannot be sending message a “thrill of victory” up Chris Matthew’s leg either.

2012 Prez Campaign Approvals - 2012-May11-12That is a big drop from one day to another, but even if this is still way early in the campaign, there is no way (conventional wisdom) that a sitting President should be faring this badly.

Rassmussen’s polling is different than a lot of others in that they are IVR conducted (“please press 1”) with not registered voters but with likely voters.  While no pollster can be sure that someone that self-identifies  as a likely voter actually does, it does seem to indicate a better estimate of what is actually going to happen vs just someone who is registered (after all, our voter participation rates, as best, go 60% and often are way below that). (H/T: Rasmussen yesterday, today)
