Real Clear Politics shows otherwise. It includes the Rasmussen poll which our snarly friend has cherry-picked (or bottom-trawled):

RCP Average 5/6 - 5/23 -- 47.9 46.4 +1.5
Rasmussen Reports 5/21 - 5/23 1500 LV 44 55 -11
Gallup 5/19 - 5/22 1547 A 48 45 +3
FOX News 5/18 - 5/19 900 RV 45 46 -1
Associated Press/GfK 5/7 - 5/11 1002 A 49 50 -1
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl 5/6 - 5/10 1000 A 50 44 +6
Pew Research 5/6 - 5/9 994 A 47 42 +5
Ipsos/McClatchy 5/6 - 5/9 1016 A 52 43 +9

This shows the national average is 47.9 approval vs 46.4 disapproval and shows further that the real picture is very different than the dark fetid corner of the dungeon from which our snarly friend ferrets out his worm-eaten information.
