I wonder what Chuck Todd will have to say about the latest NBC/WSJ poll that has President Obama at 45 percent approve, 48 percent disapprove.

Rasmussen, which Todd called “not a serious polling firm,” has Obama today at 48 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove.

Statistically, there’s not much difference between the two. Will the Left and anti-Rasmussen media resort to the stopped-clock defense?

More polling news from the “serious” NBC poll:

Obama’s declining numbers
In the poll, Obama’s job-approval rating stands at 45 percent, which is down five points from early last month and down three points from late May.
Forty-eight percent in the current survey say they disapprove of his job performance.
What’s more, Obama’s favorable/unfavorable rating is now at 47 percent to 40 percent, down from 49 percent to 38 percent in early May and 52 percent to 35 percent in January.
His scores on other ascpects of the presidency also have declined. In April 2009, 54 percent gave the president high marks for being able to handle a crisis; now it’s 40 percent.
In July 2009, 57 percent gave him high marks for being decisive and for his decision-making; now it’s 44 percent.
And also in July 2009, 61 percent gave him high marks for having strong leadership qualities; now it’s 49 percent.
