Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Posted on 09/13/2009 8:55:45 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 34% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. That’s the President’s best Approval Index rating in over a month (see trends).

Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us”.

The President’s speech also provided a modest bounce in support for his health care plans. Voters are evenly divided at this time with 48% in favor and 48% opposed.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters say proof of citizenship should be required to get government health care benefits.

He has several major networks and several major magazines and newspapers in his propaganda army, that's how!

Perhaps attributable to random highs and lows that are statistically on extreme ends of the bell curve of where truth really lies.

The same way he got into the White House. He gives a good speech and the MSM gaves him lots of coverage. The MSM made him.

More and more Democrats and Independents are begining to see what Obama is really all about and are turning against him. With his policies, dictator Czars and all the lies, people are finally waking up. This guy will be lucky if he’s not impeached.

How many think this poll is legitimate and they didn’t over sampled dems?

Rass is usually pretty good.

His “overall” approval only went up a little. I think what happened is his “strongly approve” numbers went up quite a bit from the speech, but that will likely drop off in the next week as the fire and sparkle of his speech dies off.

He always has the Liberal Media to spread propaganda for him, yet Approval Index was around -10. Why now is it at -4? Is a speech all he has to do in order to improve his numbers?

Obama has lost Independents, the very same group that elected dems in 2006 and 2008. He and his party are in very deep doo doo.

Obama got a boost from the speech before Congress in much the same way Bill Clinton did. It is to be expected. Once the details of the new legislation on Obamacare become public, the decline will begin again. It is hard to get excited by these daily polls. The long term trend is what is important, not the blips.

But he's giving yet another speech on Monday. He's nothing but an attention whore and Big Media ALWAYS is accommodating. He does read the TOTUS pretty well. His head should be replaced with a teleprompter.

Could be, I doubt it. I venture to guess more on the side of over sampling dems. Is there a way to look at the internals? This was somewhere around a 6 point move. His speech was no where near that good!

I misinterpreted that. I thought 83% of voters wanted proof of Obama’s citizenship before he passes health care.
