Interesting trend of Obama's Job Approval

As I have mentioned before I like to check out the polls at RealClearPolitics.com regularly.  The people at this website take polls from a variety of sources and averages them together.  However, you must understand that not all polls are equal.  When polling the public pollsters will ask the person if they are a registered voter (or not) or if they are likely to be voting this election (or not).  Normally we don't really concern ourselves with these differences, but in an election year they become more and more important.

I did some compiling of some poll data and found an interesting trend in the President's Job Approval Rating poll that I think is being missed by many of the news sites by only looking at the LIKELY VOTER polls.

What I found was that the Presidents numbers are much worse and also trending to even worse. Below is a graph showing the running average of all poll numbers from January 2012 of "Likely Voters".  




As you can see the President's Job Approval Number among those who will most likely be voting is not good and is trending towards lower and lower.  I think this shows how most Americans REALLY feel about what he is doing.
