Public opinion pollster Scott Rasmussen tells Newsmax that opposition to President Barack Obama's healthcare reform plan is "weighing down" his job approval rating — which is now at an all-time low.
Rasmussen also declared that if the economy does not improve over the next year, Obama's approval numbers will deteriorate even further and Democrats will suffer in the 2010 elections.
Rasmussen is founder and CEO of Rasmussen Reports and co-founder of the sports network ESPN. He has been an independent public opinion pollster for over a decade, and most major news organizations cite his reports. Newsmax.TV's Kathleen Walter asked Rasmussen about the latest poll results on Obama and his healthcare reform plan.
"The healthcare issue you can look at in one of two ways," he said.
"The good news for the president is that support for the plan has stopped falling. The bad news is most Americans are opposed.
"Adding to the troubles for the administration is that people who have strong opinions are even more likely to be opposed. Just 23 percent of Americans strongly support the proposed healthcare reform legislation, and 43 percent are strongly opposed.
"This is weighing down the president's job approval rating. As of Monday morning he's at the lowest level yet — just 46 percent of all Americans say they approve of the way he's doing his job."

I believe the Disapproval rose to 42%. The approval is 46%
Celebrating Ramadan tomorrow ought to make his ratings jump.
Well, 25% are either stupid, or hard left wingers so when we hit 30%, out he goes ;-)
LOL,SWEET!
May fall further?
Just wait until the real depression hits.
Subtract out his 95% black approval and his White approval rating is at 30%.

His Strongly Disapproves were 41%

I wish he (or she) were President.
The Clintons had condoms and needles on their Christmas tree. Can’t wait to see the Obama White House this Christmas and what his numbers are like by the end of the year.
It’s all Bush’s fault.
The Obozo does even worse when he’s on vacation. Maybe he should go on yet another vacation.
