6/2/11, "Obama disapproval sub-40 for first time in 18 months," Politico, Ben Smith
"Gallup has Obama's disapproval rating at 39%; the last time it was this low was November 15, 2009."...

Obama has a permanent constituency of almost half the voters, ie those who don't pay federal income tax and those who view ObamaCare as the greatest thing in their lives:
4/7/10, "Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax," AP
"Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it's simply somebody else's problem.
About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. That's according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization....
In recent years, credits for low- and middle-income families have grown so much that a family of four making as much as $50,000 will owe no federal income tax for 2009, as long as there are two children younger than 17, according to a separate analysis by the consulting firm Deloitte Tax."...

Gallup just says respondents were 'national adults.' It doesn't say what percentage are likely voters. ed.
