The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove (see trends).
The latest figures include 20% who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 45% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -25.
This is the president’s lowest daily job approval rating in over two years. The last time his daily rating was this low was on August 31, 2011.
Results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).
Voters are now evenly divided when asked whether the president lied about the potential impact of the new national health care law before it was passed by Congress.
Despite the president’s oft-repeated promise that Americans could keep their health insurance policies if they liked them, news reports indicate that the implementation of Obamacare may force millions of Americans to change those policies and pay more for them. Seventy-one percent (71%) think Americans should be allowed to keep their current health insurance policies even if they do not meet the standards set by the new law.
Just 35% of voters believe the health care law is good for America, and 55% favor repealing the law, with 43% who Strongly Favor it.
Fifty-four percent (54%) now oppose the health care law’s individual mandate which requires every American to have health insurance by January 1.
Democrats jumped to a seven-point lead over Republicans on the Generic Congressional Ballot during last month’s government shutdown, but now they lead by just two.
Johny Cash had a song “Ring of Fire”: down, down and the flames went higher.
"How low can he go?
The pressure should be on: REPEAL this abomination of a law! Keep saying it as the Rats are starting to jump ship.
Rasmussen still has Odumbo 5 points higher than any recent poll. What a bunch of spineless jellyfish they have become since their election prediction disaster.
The record was -26, established a week earlier. I have confidence that Zero can break that record with little effort on his part. (Anyone remember what was going on in August/September of 2011?)
Yes, he is pretty low.
His approval rating sucks, too.
:)
Scott left the firm...not sure what that might have to do with it.
Last time he was this low, was before he got RE-ELECTED.
Americans are much stupider than you think they are.
43% “Strongly Favor” Obamacare??
OK, a couple percent of the true hard left idealogues (with corporate health care).
The rest must be LIV’s (low info voters) who think they will get free healthcare. Sure, they’ll get subsidies for the premiums, but what about the high deductible? Whose going to pay for that? Oh, and the limited in-network ONLY Doctors (a few of which speak English) and second rate hospitals. (NY has 4 exchange options; all are HMO like with in-network care only; and many top flight hospitals are not accepting Obamacare patients).
Forget the other shoe falling; there is a whole bunch of shoes falling once people can actually see this disaster for what it is. Repeal is the only answer.
I sit in utter astonishment that this communist piece of crap is even close to 44%.
I wouldn’t rejoice.
An intelligent electorate would have his approvals MUCH lower than this.
He has been an abject failure at everything except destroying our economy, ruining our foreign policy, losing our allies, encouraging our enemies, engendering race and class hatred, further alientating God, devasting our medical system, and wrecking our Constitution.
Hurricane Irene was in the news a lot back in August 2011.
Yes, the Rats in congress are taking note of these declining numbers and worrying about their own political preservation now.
I’ve been letting my Dem congressman know that he supported a costly debacle that’s unwanted by most people.
“Last time he was this low, was before he got RE-ELECTED.”
The day the Marxist was re-elected on Nov 5, 2012 the RCP average was 50-47, approval/disapproval, basically nailing the exact margin of victory. Today that same average is 41-53. A dramatically different picture. See http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html
One important thing you left off the list is that he is also ruining our military. He’s purging, at an alarming rate, senior officers who are not in line with his socialist agenda.
EVENLY DIVIDED?! How in the HELL could ANYONE dispute the fact that the POS lied about his POS plan to destroy the healthcare system and 1/6th of the U.S. economy?! Further evidence that the demented and vile filth that prays at the alter of liberalism are, in fact, mentally ill and devoid of reason.
I’m pleasantly surprised at how Obamacare is the gift that keeps on giving.
All the bad features of this plan have been exposed AND
the cool, high tech, totally proficient aura of the regime has been shattered completely.
Interesting to note that of the people who disapprove, 82% of them STRONGLY disapprove. On the other hand, only 45% of people that approve of Zero STRONGLY approve. Weak support...real weak.
