The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% 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 -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. The previous low of -12 was reached on July 30 (see trends).
Prior to today, the number who Strongly Approved of the President’s performance had never fallen below 29%. Some of the decline has come from within the President’s own party. Just 49% of Democrats offer such a positive assessment of the President at this time.
At the other end of the spectrum, today’s total for Strongly Disapprove matches the highest level yet recorded. The 41% mark was reached just once before and that came one week ago today. Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans now Strongly Disapprove along with 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.
Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” Topics include health care, the deficit, stimulus package, state polls and more.
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%) now disapprove.

I don’t know. The drop mostly came from his own party, which possibly is a result of him flip-flop on the ‘public option’ issue. In other words, these people strongly disapproved 0bama because in their view he was not leftist enough.
What’s especially stunning is that Scott reports a 3-day rolling average to smooth out any statistical “noise.” If this is the 3-day average on Ø’s approval, just what might the immediate, detailed data look like?
GOOD MORNING PATRIOTS PING!!
PATRIOT’S FAULT!!

How low...can you go?
The MSM doesn’t worry about spinning these numbers. It simply IGNORES them.
It are a bootiful thang!

Wow. This is the lowest yet.
Good news on a sunny August morning!
You know calling American citizens phonies, astroturf, bigots, ignorant is starting to have an impact. The arrogance of this white house is unsurpassed.

Does this mean obozo is still president in 2013? On Noes!!!!
I would attribute a portion of it to loss of confidence from members of his own party, but he's losing bady from the Indies as well. I have a hard time imagining his own party would be so quick to toss him under the bus.
The born loser in deep thought how can I BS my way out of this meeting.
I credit those Joker posters for at least 2 points all by themselves. Powerful image.
has any of the media noted yet that bozo goes on vacation right at the start of the muslim holiday???
course he does his little speech about the holiday too and he gets a well done but I wonder when the man will find a church.
I mean he did attend a anti white racist anti American church for 20 years
Going on vacation should increase his approval ratings. Unless he opens his mouth.
