The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of 8. The Presidents Approval Index rating has fallen six points since release of a disappointing jobs report last week (see trends).
When comparing Job Approval data from different firms, its important to keep in mind that polls of likely voters and polls of all adults will typically and consistently yield different results. In the case of President Obama, polls by all firms measuring all adults typically show significantly higher approval ratings than polls of likely voters. Polls of registered voters typically fall in the middle. Other factors are also important to consider when comparing Job Approval ratings from different polling firms.
I don’t even think Carter hit a negative 8 did he?
Answer-appoint a polling czar!!
Wow. Praise the Lord, there is Hope and not Zeros type of hope
LOL...dont give them any ideas
“I dont even think Carter hit a negative 8 did he?”
I dread even thinking back to that poor time in our American lives when Jimmy tried to pacify Breschnev and did his Keystone Cops impersonation in the sands of Iran to free the hostages.
-8bama!
Time for Hussein’s media to do some fluff/human interest pieces.
We know the % of voters who are African -American. Since Obama still gets a 99% approval rating from them..if you subtract out that core group..then the disconnect is even more apparent.

Never forget the real image of M/M Zer0:
good time to copy that image and email it to your favorite liberals!
Trouble is, Hussein doesn’t care about his numbers. He has the POWER now, he’s steamrolling his programs in to our lives as quickly as possible, and that’s really all he cares about. Power is the thing.
This is surprising since Presidents usually enjoy a boost in the polls when they travel abroad. No doubt they were banking on this, but...
it’s the economy, stupid.
Don't even know what type of polling they did back then. Do know that many of my neighbors who were "born Democrats" (that's like "born Catholic, born Protestant, etc.") voted a straight Republican ticket for the first time and discovered all the rumors that pulling the Republican lever was accompanied by a lightning bolt were unfounded.
I think your spot on correct. He doesn’t care about polls. Especially now that he has a super majority in Congress, he can rush things through with wild abandon. This is an epic disaster in the making.
Could it be that the ‘Bama’s neverland fantasy is unraveling? Where’s the MSM to spin this all into sunshine and happy faces for us? Is their grip unraveling as well? Shouldn’t we all still be in mourning for Michael Jackson instead acknowledging the obvious? I’M SO CONFUSED!!
They care about these polls. Obeyme hasn’t done anything himself except appoint czars. He has Congress doing the dirty work. I think these numbers are going to tank him early and I don’’t see him doing anything to turn it around. I mean, he could cut taxes, but it is definitely not in him.
But the point is, when his numbers tank, then Congress no longer has a reason to support his ridiculous agenda. People are opposed to a second stimulus, socialist health care and capping and trading to prevent 2! degrees C rise in global temperature. If people become opposed to Obeyme, to the point of lame duck status, why should anyone in Congress support him or his stuff?
He WON! That is his reason to go real fast to destroy the power and prestige of the US and bankrupt the middle class.
He has weirdos Rahm and Axelrod, not known for being intelligent, but ruthless, to do his dirty work.
It will take the STARVE the BEAST movement and constant Tea Parties to chip away. The poor economy has got to ring a bell, sooner or later.
This sure woke me up with a smile on my face this morning!!!
