The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.

In investing there is a saying with price trends and moving averages. You follow the trend to avoid getting smashed.

The saying is “The trend is your friend.”

Hopefully this trends will continue and accelerate.

I wonder what the media will do if and when they figure this out.

Probably what they do in North Korea -- play stock footage of Obama's most glorious moments and invent an amazing act of heroism to report on?

Looter-in-chief is beginning to stink.

“Also a recent Gallop Poll shows Obama approval rating dipping below 50 for the first time.”

For Gallup, 58% is the most recent one up there. Are you talking about a particular state?

That was the Ohio poll right? Not a national poll.

I'm looking forward to -10bama and -20bama!;-)

Me? I'm looking forward to NObama...

Unfortunately, they probably will try.

But did he have any 'glorious moments' in his entire life? That footage is gonna be very hard to find! ;)

It’s amazing what you can do with editing, CG and a stunt double. :)

Pretty soon Obama will be pulling a Mao and swimming 15 km in the Potomac in just over an hour so the media can gush about his superhuman fitness and energy. The Commie play book is so tediously predictable.

That will be a happy day, the sooner the better.

LOL

[who knows what evil?]

This is a 35% swing (from +30 to -5) in SIX months? Am I reading that right?

[who knows what evil?]

Oops...not 35%...I meant a 35-point swing.

[wardaddy]

this just shows his ardent fans have cooled a bit

and his enemies (like me figure of speech) are growing

his overall approval ratings are quite high still

Yes you are reading that correct. Check out the full table at:

+30 on 1/22/09

Within a month it was down to +10 though. So he dropped 20 points really quickly (honeymoon started to fade).

Perhaps O will buy the girls a new kitten soon? maybe announce Mrs. O is having a baby:)

They could always photoshop his head onto that John Carry war footage. :)

I’d figured it would be August before his Ras poll numbers were considently in the negatives but it looks like Barry is outdoing himself. Furthermore, I don’t see anything that’s coming up that would make his favorables improve. Cap ‘n Trade - no, Health Care - no, another stimulus - no, guns, foreign policy, etc. - hasn’t done anything right so what’s to say he ever would. Barry’s doomed which is good news for the country if he can quickly become irrelevant. I can hardly wait for Sarah to start making the circuit then maybe some congressional dems and RINOs will suffer too.

If they're going to have a baby for PR purposes, they'd better go whole hog and have octuplets. Their situation calls for drastic action.
