Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just a point above the lowest level ever recorded for this President. It’s also the sixth straight day in negative double digits, matching the longest such streak (see trends).
Just 31% of voters believe that Congress has a good understanding of the health care proposal.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Republicans have a favorable opinion of their party’s national chairman, Michael Steele.
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, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

Keep tilting at Fox News windmills instead of fighting a real war in Afghanistan. Of course, that is George Bush’s fault. As is everything else. Keep on sinking O.
I like the way this is going, particularly the 47% overall approve!
Yo, boysss!
Time for a freakin’ press conference.
“About what?”
Forget what. Needing some hopenchange here.
I HOPE 0bama comes to VA to campaign for Dweebs. He’s becoming a millstone now. I understand he’s supposed to come here the last week in Oct. I bet he cancels.
Throw in another non-football night and the numbers drop again.
Zippy shouldn’t have messed with Fox and Rush. Bad idea. Real bad.
27% strongly approve. That’s not saying much.
-14 is his lowest mark from the past..let's hope he goes way beyond that in the near future and beyond!!!
BTTT
Yeah, but he gives good speech. He needs to go on ‘tha tee vee’ some more.
0bama: “47%?? R-A-A-H-H-H-M-M-M!!!!!!!”
Emanuel: “What the hell do you want?”
0bama: “They’re falling out of love for me.”
Emanuel: “I’ll send Axelrod on the Sunday circuit to inform the rubes the Rasmussen Poll isn’t real — that it’s just Scott Rasmussen’s twisted opinion. Now get back in front of your mirror.”
I’m not sure, but isn’t -6 (53-47) about as big as the overall gap has ever been?
I’m sure that’s exactly what he has in mind. But what party is he not going to attend? What TV show can he pre-emt? Fox News?
Yea! The Kenyan does the limbo....lower lower
I like Rasmussen’s polls like this showing BHO’s index; but I did not like his recent poll where Sarah came in a distant 3rd place to Huckabee and Romney. :( What to do? If I believe one poll, I have to believe the other poll ....
If he comes, IT’S TIME FOR THE MOTHER OF ALL TEA PARTIES!!!
New tagline.
Come Sunday the admin will be all over the airwaves suggesting that Rasmussen, Zogby, et. al. should not be reported on by the “real” news organizations.
>> inform the rubes the Rasmussen Poll isn’t real <<
All full-blooded leftists already understand perfectly well that Rasmussen isn’t actually a “polling” firm, just as they have long realized that FNC isn’t actually a “news” organization.
So as you say, it’s now time to inform the general public!
