Obama Approve/Disapprove Reach Parity

Monday morning Matt Drudge used a curious headline "Obama Approve/Disapprove Reach Parity" to link to the RealClearPolitics Average, which now shows the President with a 48% approval rating and a 47% disapproval rating. To us, this revelation was far from shocking; it is the extension of a trend we have seen emerging as far back as this past August.

Our interactive polling began to show the President's predicament not long after the healthcare town hall events finished unsettling the usually calm Washington August. Since that time, his standing among political independents has fluctuated from a low of 36% to a high of 47%. And with every dip in the President's support among independents, his overall approval has followed.
