WASHINGTON - President Obama's job approval rating has taken another dive, putting him underwater for the first time in the latest Marist poll.

Just 44% of the country approve of the work Obama is doing, while 47% don't like what they see.

The tough reviews come as Americans still find the commander in chief likable, with 50% rating him favorably, and 44% viewing him negatively.

And they still blame former President George W. Bush for the dismal economy.

Only 29% of voters say the poor economy is Obama's fault; 62% agree that Bush left the problem on Obama's desk.

11. These daily/weekly polls are meaningless...

the only time a poll might mean something substantial is after a major event.

Americans are notoriously fickle, except under some well defined parameters. Spikes and dives are the norm...when something substantial comes about, that is the time to consider when a poll has some validity...:hi:
