Rasmussen: Obama approval down to 46%
Hot Air ^ | August 30, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 08/31/2009 10:19:45 AM PDT by RobinMasters

If Barack Obama thought he could ride sympathy over the death of Ted Kennedy to new support for his legislative agenda, the latest Rasmussen polling will throw cold water on that hope. Overall approval for Obama has now reached 46%, with 53% disapproving. Strong disapproval now comes within five points of overall approval, almost within the margin of error:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% 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 -11…

Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve while 83% of Republicans disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 66% disapprove. See other recent demographic highlights from the tracking polls.

If it weren’t for the african american support it would be down to low 40s/upper 30s.

Not good to take on the CIA that kept this country safe for 8 years. People don’t like that.

I’ve found the cure for toe fungus. I wish I could find the cure for Obama.

Thats what I figure. We'll hear, "he aint like us. He ain't had the black experience. He was raised by white folk". Kind of a reverse, Navin Johnson.

They DO have a good out.
They can say that the first black president didn’t fail.
The guy was actually white.

And he’s barely 9 months into his term. Anyone have any data on how this compares to former POTUS?

If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again. Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress.

Keep up the good work Nancy.
