On July 9, Obama's approval index had just gone negative; today it crossed the double-digit mark. Moreover, his popularity with likely voters has gone below 50%. (49% approve; 51% disapprove).
The shift toward disapproval appears to continue with those voters strongly approving President Obama's performance becoming less approving; those who are somewhat approving becoming somewhat disapproving; and so on.
The middle, those likely voters not holding a strong opinion, remains about a third of the survey population, but is showing evidence of a slight decline as attitudes harden. Since the inauguration, strong approvals have declined from 44% to 29%, a 15 point drop, while strong disapprovals have risen from 16% to 40%, a 24 point gain.
The Obama administration is in trouble.
