The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 20% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -24 (see trends).
The president has recently suggested he will act alone to help the economy but just 27% of voters think this is appropriate. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe he should work more with Congress on the economy. This comes as just 18% believe the country is generally heading in the right direction. With those right direction numbers, Scott Rasmussen said on Fox News that he considers Barack Obama a slight underdog in his bid for re-election.

Sorry, guess it was only 5 points.
watching these numbers swing up and down, I think at least half the electorate must be on medication
All this while he’s out of country. Not a good sign for him.
He goes from terrible to abominable.
As we see a glimpse into how the MSM is going go after the final GOP candidate during the elections.
Obama claims he will raise 1 billion dollars.
The MSM attacks would add maybe 3 Billion Dollars to his war chest.
That kind of volatility is indicative of bad sampling.
Or has it been lower?
Daily polls are not, repeat NOT, an accurate depiction of reality. They are snapshots of a moment. Like taking a still of a movie. They are meant to be viewed as a whole, over a period of time.
This is not the electorate that is wildly swinging around, it is the nature of daily tracking polls. Watch the trends, watch for consistant indicators, but don't invest yourself in the day to day play.
But it’s 9 points in two days.
which i think shows Ras had a very bad sample 2 to 3 days ago that threw this out of whack. from 50% approval to 44% approval in 2 days.
I saw this number coming on DU yesterday. They're getting angry at him again and when that happens his numbers tank.
How COULD a sane society give this clown a---oh, never mind. A sane society--where? when?..

IMO, this is folks who for a while were responding to the pollandrums more positively because of media’s attempted lynching of Herman Cain. Now that Herman has escaped the noose, they are re-stabilized.
This is after his “we have been lazy” comment.
That same 20% would “strongly approve” even if he was caught with a dead girl or a live boy in his bed.
See the French word:

19% - 20% strongly approve is the bottom...that appears to be the hardcore base...
Once, on 10/25, his SA broke below 19 to 18.
19% appears to be his hardcore base floor.
