Rassmussen Obama at 45% Approval, 53% disaapprove.

[sunmars]

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday 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, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s down a point from yesterday and the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove.

How many more points does he have to drop before he calls for an emergency and shuts down the Internet?

Somewhere, George W. Bush must be laughing his head off.

[Rational Thought]

It will be interesting to see how the very people who used poll numbers as a means of criticism against President Bush react to these falling numbers.

How could anybody choose "...at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance"?

What's to "somewhat approve"? He buys his kids ice cream? He chooses nice vacation spots? He has nice creases in his pants?

[Piquaboy]

I would like to see a 100% disapproval rate and his butt thrown out of office.

[sunmars]

I’m just happy from the looks of it, Ted Kennedy dropping dead did him no favours and gave him no traction.

[PapaBear3625]

The bigger story is that his overall approval rating is now -8, where it had been essentially 50/50 for a long time.

[MrB]

That category is an appeal to the good nature and white guilt of the populace.

They’re trying to show SOME category where he still scores high.

[Pedrobud]

Seems a lot of people have opened their eyes but there is always a percentage of people who will never get it ? 45 %

[sunmars]

The thing is by the looks of at least at the baseline 30% of the country think he can do no wrong but 41% hate his guts.

It would be hilarious if he weren’t pulling the country down with him.

[dinoparty]

It seems obvious the question is whether Obama will “triangulate” like Clinton or simply ride his leftism down to utter destruction. I’m guessing the latter.

[tgusa]

~34% of the country is self-described ‘minority’.

[ScottinVA]

At least we’re not hearing in the state-run media: “The popular young President...”

Somewhere, George W. Bush must be laughing his head off.

I doubt it. Dubya may have ticked me off as often as not but I think he still loves this country. What that fool in D.C. does in not funny.

[newfreep]

The trend is continuing to be our friend!!!

Yikes. Dropping like the proverbial rock. Rahm and Axlerod must be going nuts.
