Daily Presidential Approval Index

Rasmussen Reports ^ | February 8, 2009 | Rasmussen Reports

The partisan debate over an economic stimulus package has pushed President Barack Obama’s Job Approval Ratings down over the past week. While the President continues to enjoy generally positive ratings, new survey data shows that the country is evenly divided over his assertion that failure to act on the stimulus package will lead to an economic catastrophe. See our weekly review of key polls to learn “What They Told Us.”

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Approval Index for Sunday shows that 36% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing as President. Twenty-five percent (25%) Strongly Disapprove to give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +11

Obama's net approval rating slips once again.

From Messiah to pariah. Let’s hope this will be the case.

Subtract 10% from Rassy and get the real number.

i’m sorry... but i’m fairly certain the polls were not checking the ‘strongly approve/disapprove’ people for GWBush. i believe they were counting anyone that even hinted disapproval as being negative.

so the real question is... what are the other numbers.
we have:

36% Strongly Approve
25% Strongly Disapprove (cute how they ‘hide’ the stat by spelling it out)
—% Generally Approve
—% Generally Disapprove

we are missing the bottom two. how can we get the data?

It looks like overall, 59% approve, 39% disapprove. I guess 2% have no opinion.

We’re talking trends here...check the “trends” section.

I have been watching alot of the News Bleedia and have been noticing a trend, about 70% of the reporters have been referring to “Zero” as Mr Obama not president Obama. Could it be that they are coming to realize he is a fraud and the sheeple will not pick up on the mislabel? Stay tuned for a bumpy ride folks.

He is inching closer to 43pct

[Scanian]

Considering the way the MSM covers for him, I’d say that recent trends on this poll should be a cause of alrm to Zero.

You can bet that Porkulus is tanking his internals and why he is in a hurry to get this behind him.

Subtract Strongly Approve from Overall Approve
Subtract Strongly Disapprove from Overall Disapprove

It is the porkulous, but it is also, surprisingly enough, SCHIP. I cannot believe the outrage of some minorities who see it as a scam. I overheard two different groups talking about while I was out last evening. They are fired up that it will cover middle income and even some high income people as well, and they are fired up about the increases in tobacco taxes. And these are obvious liberal minority groups. No links or data of course, because it was just a case of overhearing heated conversations. (very heated and quite loud!)

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Interesting observation. Maybe the sheeple will realize the same! Can only hope.

Harry Reid said that now that democrats are in charge he doesnt read polls anymore. Last year he was on every talk show citing Bush polls, but he has now given them up. (I am not kidding, I saw him on CSPAN.)

[maggief]

His ratings chart will soon resemble the NYT stock chart.

[hinckley buzzard]

Looks like the balloon is losing some of its hot air.

[silverleaf]

I noticed that too

Now that it’s been commented on, and probably recorded and reported by a soldier in O’s net army who is deployed to Freep duty

expect the entire news media to receive FAX’s directing them to use the term “president obama” (hey, I don’t have to use caps)

[Thermalseeker]

And these are obvious liberal minority groups.

Obamalamadingdong still hasn't sent me my check yet. Maybe they didn't get theirs yet either.

I, for one, am going to thoroughly enjoy Obamalamadingdong's slide into the ditch of public opinion. It's going to happen and I think pretty dang fast, too. The media has blown this guy's expectations up so high nobody could meet them. It's all going to come crashing down, more likely sooner rather than later if the first two weeks are any measure....

Twenty-three percent (23%) of Americans say it’s at least somewhat likely that human civilization will be destroyed this century by global warming.

I was going to post here some sort of sarcastic putdown after that shocking citation from the article, but I can't.

I'm speechless.
