President Barack Obama's popularity has plummeted to a record low, with just 45 percent of voters now approving of his performance, according to the latest Zogby International poll.
Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president's job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. That compares with 50.5 percent who disapprove of the job Obama is doing.
The results are a strong indication that contentious national debate over healthcare reform has taken a major toll on the president's popularity.
Those numbers also indicate that Obama clearly is in serious political trouble, Fox News analyst and best-selling author Dick Morris tells Newsmax.

"As soon as Obama dropped below 52 percent . . . he was leaking real voters who had backed him in November," Morris tells Newsmax. "Now that he is down to 45 percent among likely voters . . . he is in deep political trouble."
I was interested in some remarks made by John Zogby about Walmart shoppers and investors. These are two of the poll questions he always asks in his online polls. I take these polls, probably once a month or so mainly out of curiosity. Then aren't as accurate as the old-fashioned cold-call telephone, but I guess he asks the same types of qualifying questions. Other standard group-identity questions include one about whether you are a Nascar fan and how frequently you attend religious services.
