That strongly disapproves keeps going up.
Not very fast though. The strong approval drop is what is leading the negative numbers. I’ve been watching his index daily for about 3 weeks now. His approval has dropped noticeably more than his disapproval has increased, although both numbers are moving in the right direction.
Looking at the trends over the period when he was getting 11-12% negative, the "strong disapproves" have stayed constant at around 39-40%, while his "strong approves" have fluctuated from 28 to 34 and back down to 31.
We need to work on making more "somewhat disapproves" into "strong disapproves".
It will be interesting to see how it goes at the end of August. Now is when a lot of the middle class takes their vacations, and are unavailable for polling.
The overall approval is, IMO, the big news, now hovering at around 50% each way.
Obama may be intelligent, but he is not wise. He has street smarts, but so has many a fool.
