Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Monday, August 10, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9 (see trends).
Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 70% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 22% Strongly Approve and 40% Strongly Disapprove. See other recent demographic highlights from the tracking polls.
His actions since he took office reflect a nihilistic streak.
I think he has some sort of personality disorder due to his very peculiar upbringing.
Why have we heard from so few early friends and acquaintances? Something is very off with this guy.
Yep, and he had a very predictable up swing for a few days. Now he is having a down swing and we will see if it deepens, stabilizes, or swings back up.
But the trend is encouraging.
Yea, I'd say that is his core base who will stay with him through 15 % unemployment and and 15 % inflation, etc. . The fight is for the weak Democrat, including that large swath of elderly white Democrats who still don't get how this is going to screw them, yet.
No, 51% - 39% = 12% mildly disappprove.. Thats the number that should be going up in coming weeks..
The history is there for all to see and follow if they have an open mind.
Sitting in Reverend Wright’s church of hate for twenty years.
The associations with corrupt Chicago politicians, the Daley Chicago political machine and friendships and associations with die hard communists, Marxists and domestic terrorists.
The radicalism, the opportunism, the egotism, the narcissism. Makes the Clintons look like dumb sheep by comparison.
I agree with you there.
Definitely Narcissistic. Yes, there is a personality disorder here.
He has a very thinly cloaked temper..
Yes, no friends, no testimonials from teachers, former girl friends.
The other thing that bothers me is the use of cocaine.
I treat drug abuse...the cocaine is a different egg. I’ve never... repeat NEVER met a cocaine user whom you could trust... And I say that because even if it’s a family member you have to be leary.
There’s a long way to go in this presidency. There’s no place to hide. The truth about this man will come out sooner or later.
The contrast too, between him and Bush is striking. While all of us here had our problems with Bush, mine being that he was not following conservative priniciples, terrible communicator, failed to take a stand on energy and the borders..
One thing you can agree on, his presidency was for all the people. Right or wrong, the guy tried to rise above partisan politics, frequently to the chagrin of republicans.
Obama in contrast... is totally partisan. He views half the country as his enemy. Certainly all conservatives and republicans.
He is not a man of the people. He is an elitist.
He is not a Jackie Robinson...He is not someone whom I look up to and am proud of....
Well, he is a White Sox fan...so I’ll give him that.
The plan is reverse Reaganism: crank up spending so high that even Republicans will be forced to increase taxes to pay for it all.
I think his ideal master plan would be to get someone else to raise taxes and take the heat off himself.... Childish, nihilistic, moronic, irresponsible.
My belief is 0bama has from the beginning wanted to drag this nation leftward, into one radically different than it is today. Schooled by Alinsky, inspired by Jeremiah Wright and funded by George Soros, 0bama never had an intention to be the "post-racial," "post-partisan" unifier he publicly claimed to be. He is a driven, hardline marxist who reads a teleprompter well enough to fool a sufficient amount of voters into thinking he would actually make a positive difference. From the beginning, most conservatives saw 0bama for what he is -- a man with far too radical a leaning for suitability for executive leadership in this country. Unfortunately, 63 million, including, of course, those who couldn't see beyond their own racial pride, hitched up with him. Too bad the entire country has to suffer for it.
Same here. I saw "poseur" from the start.
OBOZO is a radical marxist....although that's redundant.
So the North Korean "hostage rescue" by Klinton was only a temporary bump.
Important to note from the trends is that the "disapprove" rating never slipped more than 2% (its lowest level was 49%). That is key, as it shows that 49% of the people weren't fooled by the propaganda and didn't allow themselves to be distracted.
Also key in today's report is the internal about health care:
When it comes to health care, 51% fear the federal government more than private insurance companies.
One other point that should be viewed favorably:
- January 30, 2009: Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance along with 30% of unaffiliated voters and 14% of Republicans.
- February 5, 2009: Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance along with 13% of Republicans and 30% of those not affiliated with either major party.
- February 12, 2009: Seventy-three percent (73%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance along with 10% of Republicans and 37% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
- February 19, 2009: ...Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 48% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with the two major parties, 29% Strongly Approve and 26% Strongly Disapprove.
- March 5, 2009: Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance while 52% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Voters not affiliated with either major party are fairly evenly divided.
- March 14, 2009: Sixty-six percent (66%) of Democrats Strongly Approve and 54% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. As for those who are unaffiliated with either major political party, they are evenly divided between positive and negative reviews.
- April 6, 2009: Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 52% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove.
- May 29, 2009: ... Seventy percent (70%) of Democrats now Strongly Approve of the President’s performance.
- June 21, 2009: Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance but only 8% of Republicans share that view. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove.
- July 18, 2009: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats now Strongly Approve of the President while 63% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 43% Strongly Disapprove.
- August 10, 2009: Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 70% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 22% Strongly Approve and 40% Strongly Disapprove.
That tells me that he is losing not only the independents, but it appears that he is losing the support of his own party.
I’d hate to be the one that has to tell the Narcissist In Chief that he needs to keep his mouth shut in order to get his poll numbers up...LOL!
Will it be Rahm or Axelrod?
Note on polls: I guess the American people don’t much care for a president that sends union thugs out to beat up american citizens that don’t agree with him.
I am not surprised about Obummer’s poll numbers.
They are dropping faster than Bill Clinton’s pants.
The lines crossing on July 4th is just an amusing coincidence?
; )
It’s got to be scary for one party to see its opposition party’s base so riled up. But then the consultants come in and pacify them with talk about “swing voters.” Oh, yeah, the swing voters are also riled up against you, Democrats. That’s gotta be terrifying.
