Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Monday, February 23, 2009
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 38% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Twenty-seven percent (27%) Strongly Disapprove to give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +11 (see trends).
These results come as consumer and investor confidence fell to new record lows again today. Over the past month, assessments of current economic conditions have remained fairly stable while expectations for the future have fallen. Seventy-five percent (75%) oppose the nationalization of banks.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter.
Overall, 58% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 40% disapprove. Over the past four days, the overall approval rating has been slightly below the 60% level. Prior to that, it was between 60% and 62% virtually every day since the President was inaugurated. For other measures of how the public views the President, see Obama By the Numbers.
An IRS audit is no longer the top fear for taxpayers: more are worried that the government will run out of money before they get their tax refund.
Figgers don’t lie but liars sure do figger.
New York Times/CBS News poll?.....lol....OK.
There is a daily poll on Obama called the Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes. Since O stole the nomination from Hillary using ACORN thugs at the caucuses in May 2008 - the market has been tanking daily.
Broads support Obama? Could well be. Most probably have to turn sideways to fit through the doors.
Good grief.... Damn, these people are stupid.
Reminds me of the 70s when I used to listen to Pravda on shortwave.
Unbelievable stories manufactured from wholecloth that flew in the face of what I knew to be true.
How does this square with the Rick Santelli response?
Sure. That must be why the stock market tanks every time he opens his mouth.
>President Obama is benefiting from remarkably high levels of optimism and confidence among Americans
LOL! With the stock market at historic lows and openly in free fall, that is the biggest lie that I have read in years.
No need to read further.
Exactly what country did they conduct this poll in?
A NYT/CBS/Obamacorn poll. Alrighty then! ROTFL!
Back to the future. Just like the Clinton polls. Its amazing the number you can come up with when you poll the newsroom. CNN cooked the poll results for 8 years for Clinton................red
According to Rasmussen Bronco Bomber's numbers on Inauguration Day:
44% Strongly Approve - 16% Strongly Disapprove
Today:
38% Strongly Approve - 27% Strongly Disapprove
His numbers are dropping like a rock.
