In today’s Morning Jolt, a lot of discussion about whether global warming should be blamed for Hurricane Irene, Colin Powell’s indecision on his preference for 2012, and then this easily overlooked bit of news . . .

This Should Be the Lead Story in Monday Morning ’s Newscasts, But Won’t Be
Look out below. Obama’s disapproval in the Gallup tracking poll hit 55 percent Sunday, a new high. His approval is tied at its low, 38 percent.
ADDENDA: Jeff Greenfield asks, via Twitter, a question that deserves greater exploration: “Will anyone vote for Obama in ‘12 who did NOT in ‘08. For GWB in ‘04: women, (a few) more Jews, and evangelicals who stayed home in ‘00.” Bush’s performance in the post-9/11 world won over a whole bunch of new supporters (in a way, it had more to do with the changes in voter priorities after 9/11 than it did with Bush).
I’m open to arguments, anecdotes, or other theories: Will anyone who didn’t vote for Obama in 2008 vote for him in 2012? Besides those who were too young to vote in 2008?
