(CNSNews.com) - In the most precipitous decline it has seen in more than a year, President Barack Obama's job approval rating has dropped 7 points in three days, according to Gallup.

In the three-day period ending on Oct. 23, says Gallup, 53 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing and 42 percent said they did not.

On Oct. 24, that dropped to 51 percent who said they approved and 44 percent who said they do not.

On Oct. 25, it dropped again to 48 percent who said they approved and 47 percent who said they do not.

On Oct. 26, it dropped yet again to 46 percent who said they approved and 49 percent who said they did not.

In May 2011, Obama's approval dropped 7 points in four days, sliding from 53 percent on May 24 to 46 percent on May 28.

No... We all already know what it would be like. You flip out when a republican says something stupid during a sound bite. Something like this? Something that has actual real live consequences, and cost American lives? Followed by a cover-up? You'd be reacting just as dbair is, if not worse. But since it was a D above it all, you can act all condescending towards him.

Coverup? I think you need to stop watching Fox News and start doing some reading on the intelligence community over the last decade.

It could be a coverup or it could be that the CIA, military, state department, NSA, etc don't share information and it really is a giant clusterfuck just like it's been for the past 20 years.

you do remember that WMD debacle? You are expecting that apparatus to work well and unfuck itself in a week? It's no coincidence that Rice is saying what she is saying. She of all people know about that.

I think you can criticize Obama for doing nothing to fix our intelligence community but that doesn't get the impeachment winds blowing since it's been an issue since the Eisenhower administration.

I love that they asked Romney about FEMA. (Well, Romney's team. They're still not allowing Romney to talk to the press for fear he'll compromise the image they've spent so long making up for him)

Now that we're in the middle of a disaster he wouldn't cut it.

Looking less and less like a fiscal conservative every day. Tax cuts for all, keep ALL the programs. Spend spend spend baby.

How does not doing away with FEMA = keeping ALL the programs? Typical SP bs spin/lies.

Because every time they press him on a program he's all like "oh yeah we're keeping that" - even when previously, in the primaries, Romney had claimed it would be "immoral" to continue paying into programs like FEMA and saddling our children with debt, and he would like to see FEMA turned over to the states or even better - the private sector.

Fast forward a few months and he's all "nah FEMA's cool"

What a fraud.

There you go again.... lol

You have been watching it? Where do you think the narrative of 'coverup' and 'impeachment' is coming from?

I see what you are trying to do but my point is valid. You spew the Fox narrative to a T. Your offhand dismissal does not just make it go away.

I haven't said anything about impeachment. But yes, I do watch a variety of news outlets and it is interesting how the majority of the leftist msm is ignoring the Benghazi attack. Thankfully Fox does cover pertinent issues that the rest want to ignore. But know doubt the majority of the msm was all over the abortion comment in the debate made by a senate candidate. That dominated the news cycle for several days while 4 Americans being killed in Libya while CIA and operatives were told to stand down was all but ignored by most news outlets. I know, gotta try and get Obama re-elected. Gotta try and suppress any news that may be damaging to him all the while trying to ding Romney.

I'll be the first to say I'm glad FoxNews is out there. Need at least one network to balance out the all of the left leaning and slanted news stations. Otherwise, we'd basically just have liberal propaganda shoved up arses 24/7.

They don't ignore it. Go to their websites and its easy to see where the stories are. The recent Fox anonymous source was carried by all the major carriers. It's things like this that make me question your claims of viewing these other sources because all i hear is the typical Fox refrain of coverup/MSM.

I said "all but ignored". ABC for instance devoted far more time to the abortion comment than they did the Libya email and led with the abortion comment. CNN had large segments for several days regarding the abortion comment and barely mentioned the Benghazi email and "stand down" command.

Just because you don't want your sources examined doesn't mean that their sources should just be ignored. What do you think about Russian, Italian, or Iranian state news? You think they are credible?

Roger Ailes was a GOP media adviser for GOP bigwigs including Reagan all the way up until he got his post as head of Fox News. It's straight up political propaganda. I am not discounting particular news because it is voiced by Fox. What i am talking about is teh narrative that they produce and then have their minions parrot.

Mourdock and the emails came out the same day and they were the top two headlines everywhere. The Mourdock story had legs because he said it and then the next day made a point to not apologize for it and considering the GOP ostracized Akin for about the same comments less than a month ago it was talked about. Mourdock gave it legs.

Contrast that with the emails which gave conflicting information including one that said the firing had stopped. This goes along with the notion that there was a lot of confusing reports coming through and was not conclusive.

The 'stand down' command was an anonymous source. Every carrier reported it and then the CIA spokesperson Jennifer Youngblood's flat out denial. I realize that you want that to have legs but that story didn't have much to start with.

There is no smoking gun. Sorry but while you and Ailes want it painted that Obama got good intelligence but just said fuck it let them die. Well that didn't happen.

Of course they ran with the Mourdock comment, because they want to help Obama with women and pro-abortionists. And yes, the CIA spokesperson said the "stand down" command didn't come from them, not that there wasn't one. But yes, it doesn't have legs because the media doesn't want it too because it would likely be damaging to their candidate.
