The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17. That matches the lowest rating earned by the president since the passage of his health care proposal two months ago (see trends).

if the media were not corrupt and they actually reported instead of covering for him then his numbers would be half of what they are.

still he does have the media and the numbers will never go down that much until the media tells the truth to their viewers or the people actually do their own research

I agree completely. The media is what is propping him up. The 25% strongly approve numbers are the lowest I can recall seeing.

Well, I guess the Obama “surge” that liberals like Juan Williams were crowing about last week lasted an entire 3 days. They were really playing up the fact that Obama was up over +4 in the Realclearpolitics.com average of polls for the first time since early January. Since last friday the average has dropped back +2 range it has been at since March and is still heading downward.

Kinda what I been thinking, if the trend continues.

Strongly Approve will hover above 20%, Stronglt Disapprove will begin to ballon as sincere campaigning gets underway. A forur-point downturn on a Tuesday and seven points down in post-weekend polling. (I would guess that hasn’t happened before).

This may be an indication of the “likely voters” getting wind of the success of conservatives or “Tea Party” approved strengths along with the “retirements” of old-guard Dhimmicrats.

he has the media to cover for him and even though he treats like them like crap they still love him.
It’s like they have battered wife syndrome or something

“Well, I guess the Obama “surge” that liberals like Juan Williams were crowing about last week lasted an entire 3 days. “

I’ve noticed in the past few months Juan Williams has become angrier, much more left in his stated views, and much more defensive of Obama.

I wonder if it’s a Fox inspired thing to get Williams to be the foil, the Alan Colmes replacement. Or, if Juan is feeling the heat over Obama’s terrible performance.

The base is slowly figuring out their healthcare isn’t “free” after all.

I believe more & more left wingnuts are beginning to see the colossal failure of the Marxist and it makes them even more angry!

Free the Job-locked!

Obama, Pelosi, et al are just trying to make the American '60s dream possible.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out!"

Obamacare makes it possible. Now we don't have to work to get health care. Pelosi said so. Pelosi said we can do it, man.

Now about free housing, food, and spending money.. give us all some of that Obama stash, Mr. President.

Correct me if I am wrong, but was it not Zogby that projected Martha Coakley to defeat Scott Brown?

Yet Zogby has Hussein at just over 50% approval once again! Imagine a Muslim pollster releasing a favorable polling result for Hussein! Shocking, ain’t it??!!
