ALL LIBERALS KNOW THAT MEN CAN'T BE TRUSTED – AT 8:22 A.M. ET:  The president has fallen below the magic 40% approval mark among men.  Even in Martha's Vineyard, this has to be alarming news:

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama’s job approval rating among American men has fallen to a record low, hitting 39 percent in the week of Aug. 16-22, according to the Gallup Poll.

The week of Aug. 16-22 also marked the first time Obama’s average weekly approval rating dropped below 40 percent for either gender. His approval rating among American women was 46 percent for the week.

When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, his job approval rating was 64 percent among men and 69 percent among women, according to Gallup. That was the highest his approval ever hit with men.

Obama’s approval rating first dipped below 50 percent among men in the week of Aug. 24-30, 2009. In October and November of 2009, it rebounded above 50 percent for a four-week stretch, but then in the week of Nov.16-22 it dropped to 46 percent and has never again exceeded 48 percent.

The last time Obama had an average weekly approval rating as high as 50 percent among American women was the week of June 28-July 4.

COMMENT:  Nothing seems to help the president because he is almost pathetic in his leadership skills.  He will speak of achievements, but most Americans see the achievements as things they oppose, like Obamacare. 

There does not appear to be anything on the horizon between now and the midterms, save a miracle recovery in the economy, that can strengthen Mr. Obama.  He has gotten himself into this mess, and has no clue on how to climb out.
