Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Monday, September 07, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThis Advertisement
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13 (see trends). Sixty percent (60%) now believe the President is at least as ethical as most politicians. On health care reform, 83% say that proof of citizenship should be required before anyone can receive government subsidies. Just 13% of Americans consider Labor Day one of the nation’s most important holidays. Most view it primarily as the unofficial end of summer. 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 and Facebook. Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. One of the fun things about being in the polling business is that people often like to blame the messenger when they don’t like the news. One of the more creative efforts to diss the messenger was made on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Fallon, The Roots and special guest Sean "Diddy" Combs complained about the Presidential Approval Index as they "slow jammed" the news.

WooHoo!
Lucky Negative 13!!!
(I should buy a lottery ticket today.)
That’s a three-day moving average.
For it to drop this fast, the individual dailies must be cratering.
We’ve never actually had a -13 (-12 and -14) so it’s a refreshing “Change”.
So Wednesday night he’s going to turn this around by being more aggressive and doing more of what got him to -13.
Brilliant.
Made my day!
What has happened or what has Obama done recently that could cause this. Unemployment numbers? The Van Jones fiasco? Obama returning from vacation so he could...go on vacation again?
What the heck does that mean?? First, I think, we need to establish "how ethical" Americans think pols are in general to be before throwing that stat out there! It's meaningless without a measuring stick.
60% of ‘johns’ think their hooker is at least as good as most hookers!
LOL!
Excellent! Thanks for posting.
A better question- How many politicians do you think are ethical?
0%?
a handful?
most?
ARE YOU F)#(*$ KIDDING?!? ETHICAL AND POLITICIAN IN THE SAME SENTENCE? BWHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA
Check one :)
Could it be all the racist?
If I’m seeing it correctly, looks like he’s hit a new 10-day moving average low.
unions and wh staff......
If I’m reading the chart right, it would look like he’s due for another little rise shortly, to keep with the pattern.
Unless this is the start of the end. (One can only ‘hope’.)
That red-green gap is sure widening - in the right direction.
