A new survey from USA Today/Gallup shows Obama's job approval rating right at the 50% mark, with 46% disapproving of the way he's handling the job. This represents a 4-point decline in Obama's standing since the last USAT/Gallup poll in mid-September showing him at 54/43.

Overall, President Obama's job approval rating stands at 51.7% in the RCP Average .

(Note: this survey, taken Friday through Monday among 1,521 adults, is a different sample than Gallup's daily tracking poll which currently has Obama at 51%.)
