WAKE UP AMERICA

For Sunday, the Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll reveals that 28 percent of the country's voters Strongly Approve of the method that Barack Oabama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16.
Rasmussen Reports that, "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. Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 43 percent of voters believe they at least somewhat disapprove of the president's performance, while 57 percent disapprove.
It is necessary to note that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other polling firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama's poll numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults instead of likely voters. This would be because some of the president's most exuberant supporters, such as young adults, are not as likely to turn out to vote. It is also necessary to check the details of question wording when comparing approval ratings from different polling firms.
According to Rasmussen Reports, "daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The margin of sampling error - for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters - is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results ar available for Premium Memebers."

I cannot believe the ratings are that high.
I can’t imagine why it isn’t worse. Like -30 or -40.
Ratings have gone up. They were -20 for the last 3 days.
What qualifies someone as a likely voter?
IIRC, weekend polling trends more heavily Democratic.
The cool thing is, I put money down on zer0bama’s contract at Intrade to be below 45 by the end of June. Sweet. I get to make money off this jerkwad.

In most polls, their response to the question: "Are you a likely voter?"
28 percent strongly approve. Of what?
going down, down, down...keep talking ZerO, keep talking.
What qualifies someone as a likely voter?If they are likely to vote in the upcoming election.
Hope and Change in one hand Feces in the other hand which hand do you think will pile up the quickest?
You can only hope that will change
“I cannot believe the ratings are that high.”
I can. When you consider the last 20 years of PUBIC education, a far leftist/Marxist media, a rapid growth in illegals and black population, you can then understand it.
It is why America is dying, and why a I am happy that I left.
The USA, now USSA, has been eaten from within.
It will take a miracle from God for it to return to its former greatness.
It's not the News Reports, it's who Reports the News.
Next question...
Wow it’s like you surprised me with flowers! Thanks for the good news, ‘vet!
So he has a 100% disapproval rating?
Tom should have spent a few more minutes on this particular sentence.
People like the “idea” of him...
rasmussen is screwed up... he gets these 6 to 10 point swings and that is not reality. I know the liberal press says he is in the low to mid 40’s... his real numbers are in the high 30’s but old ras just keeps a sine-wave going.
