This...
...is the lowest Obama has been in the Rasmussen "passion Index" which subtracts the percentage of those who strongly disapprove from those who strongly approve of the president's performance.
Obama has also reached new lows in overall approval ratings at Gallup (49%) and Rasmussen (45%). Gallup samples adults and Rasmussen likely voters, meaning that the Gallup poll tends to lean toward the left.
For Obama to be below 50% in the Gallup poll suggests many supporters are jumping ship.
UPDATE: Byron York from the Washington Examiner has the breakdown of the Gallup numbers and there's been a mass exodus in the majority of the demographics:
Among age groups: For the first time in the White House, Obama is below 50 percent with every age group of Americans except those between 18 and 29. He's at 48 percent with people in the 30-49 range; 46 percent with people in the 50-64 range; and 42 percent with people 65 and over. Among those 18-29, he's at 61 percent.
Among racial groups: For the first time in the White House, Obama support among white Americans has fallen below 40 percent. He's at 39 percent among whites; 91 percent among blacks, and 70 percent among Hispanics.
Among income groups: For the first time in the White House, Obama is below 50 percent with every income group except those making less than $2,000 a month. He's at 49 percent among those making $2,000 to $4,999 a month; 44 percent among those making $5,000 to $7,499 a month; and 48 percent among those making $7,500 and more a month. Among the bottom income group, those making less than $2,000 a month, Obama's approval rating is 59 percent.
Religious practice: For the first time in the White House, Obama is below 50 percent with everyone who goes to church. He at 41 percent among those who attend weekly and 49 percent among those who attend nearly weekly or monthly. Among those who seldom or never go to church, he is at 55 percent.
