OBAMAMANIA TAPERING OFF - AT 1:15 P.M. ET:  Rasmussen reports that approval of President Obama is at 56%, and has been there for three days running.  Disapproval is at 43%, also for three days running.  These are not spectacular figures.  A month ago the president stood at 60% approve, 38% disapprove.  The gap has gone from 22% to 13%. 

Messiahs generally do better.
