Some polls and stats from Rasmussen Reports:

• Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 25% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 40% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a presidential index rating of –15.

• Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of Barack Obama’s performance and 53% disapprove.

• Only 22% believe America is heading in the right direction. This matches the lowest level of Obama’s time in office.

• Among American voters, 61% oppose U.S. citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants.

I went to bed on Tuesday night with a stubborn cough that left me half-expecting to wake up Wednesday morning feeling even worse. Yesterday was worse but still manageable, but when I went to bed last night I knew for a fact I would be waking up today to something awful.

This is the worst I have felt in a long time. I got the usual lineup of medicine, cortisone shot and five days of antibiotics, first thing this morning and slept all day. Yesterday’s run was a small distance and today’s was hardly worth mentioning. I only walked to the end of my street and slowly made my way back home. One day at a time.

1,395.8 miles to go.
