The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12 (see trends). Just 29% agree with the decision to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and five other terrorists suspects in a New York city courtroom. Fifty-one percent (51%) disagree. Support for the health care plan working its way through Congress is up to 47%, but 49% remain opposed. 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 are also available on Twitter and Facebook. Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Republican voters say that Sarah Palin shares their values. Just 18% see her as a divisive force within the GOP.

I yearn for the day when his strong approval vs strong disapproval is 50 points or more. The only way we will ever throw this commie bastard 0bozo out of office is if he tanks & destroys the country so badly that even the brain dead black minority & Jewish bloc, along with nearly all independents rise up to throw the commie bastard 0bozo out of office and straight into prison for treason (along with Pelosi, Brwaney Frwank, Reid & Dodd.
“if he tanks”
the US is nearly at the Europe-like total-control-of-media stage where that is impossible.

You're right.....bad choice of words, to use a conditional word like "if"
I should have said "WHEN HE COMPLETELY TANKS" and completes the destruction of our country that our citizens will rise up in fury and throw this commie bastard 0bozo out of office and into prison for treason.
.
if he’s not at -20 it means far too many pinheads are buying that cr*p about Eric Holder making the decision unilaterally to try KSH in NY.
Maybe not. The zealous disagree percentage is stuck in the 39-41 % range. They'll never vote for Obama, but the remaining 34% could split 23 -11 in an election. These are voters who will be swayed by what has Obama done lately. If the economy upticks and unemployment goes to 9 I'm betting Obama wins in 2012. The GOP can't win by simply being against Obama. they have to be FOR something the middle 30% either want or can accept.
He will always get a certain number of points from his base.
Plus a certain number from interest groups and hardcore liberals.
We are extremely fortunate that he’s at -12 and dropping given the ignorance of his base and the fanaticism of the special interests and the liberals.
Yeah, I remember Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate that everyone pretends doesn’t exist that contradicts Obama’s whole Constitutional eligibility and puts America at extreme risk each and every day.
Oh, did you now?
I'd hate to see this country in ruins because we let a key piece of evidence slip through our skittish little fingers.
By the time it is -20, we will be in one world government. By the time 2010 comes, it won’t matter. That’s the plan. Ammo up, invest in food.
I wish the worm were turning. According to giddy Diane Sawyer on GMA today, his approval ratings are at 52% according to their ABC poll.
How this fool still has as much as a 49% approval rating is beyond me.
Sarah 51%
MAO-bama 46%
The worm is indeed turning!!!

My household joins you in the -100 zero club.
“Why is this important? Who cares what the this number is and you shouldn’t care either. it’s meaningless and statistical noise. A good majority of people in the US didn’t want to go to war in 1861 and throughout the war it remained unpopular. In 1775 a large majority of our population we now call Canadians wanted to remain loyal to the crown. A majority of people wanted segregation laws, Jim Crow laws, and 15 years ago over 50% of people agreed with abortion for BC reasons according to the media. Right is right and fixating on what some bullcrap MSM driven poll shouldn’t cause you to blink one eye. We need to ignore the push polls and fight on. I can tell you the politicians are but the MSM is using them to dispirit you.”
Well spoken words worth repeating. The leftist pigs distort reality making questions sound reasonable then try to apply the results back to reality. But, bullshit is just shit isn’t it? So, disregard these polls and like you say...doesn’t really matter if they are true...right is right. We fight whether we are majority or minority. God and Freedom do not require majority to win or to be just.
Isn't that the first time that Obama has been upside down in the totals.
WaPo/ABC poll: The 14-point partisan gap
posted at 9:30 am on November 17, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
After a while, it gets to be a broken record, but we still have to ask: does anyone know how to poll out there? Despite every indication that the partisan split among Americans has narrowed considerably since the last Presidential election, won by the Democrat by seven points while garnering considerable independent and Republican cross-over votes, the new Washington Post/ABC poll uses a sample in which Democrats outnumber Republicans by fourteen points. Moreover, the WaPo/ABC poll has progressively widened that gap over the last four monthly polls:
* 11/15/09: 35/21/39 (D/R/I)
* 10/18/09: 33/20/42
* 9/12/09: 32/21/43
* 8/17/09: 35/25/34
Lets have a reality check here. In the last four months, which party would have lost ~20% of its representation in the polls and had them shift to the independent column? With both Gallup and Rasmussen showing the Democrats losing the generic Congressional ballot for the first time in several years, its not the Republicans losing voters. And yet the Post and ABC conduct their public-opinion polls based on samples that not only wildly oversample Democrats but show the opposite trend of partisan identification.
Even while increasing the sample to the point of farce, Barack Obama and Democratic policies lost ground in this poll:
* Approval on health care: 47/49, was 48/48 in October
* Approval on deficit: 42/53, was 45/51 in October
* Approval on the economy: 51/47, was 50/48
* Support ObamaCare: 48/49, was 45/48
* Public option: Up 10 (53/43), was up 17 in October (57/40)
Maybe WaPo/ABC should use a 25-point gap the next time between Democrats and Republicans. That way they can get the results they want on the issues.
Yes, -14 once.
God bless Ed Morrissey for enlightening all of us and kisses to you for sharing it. Perhaps I should send it to Diane Sawyer just to wipe that smile off of her face, that’s if she truly believed the BS she was spewing.
Why do I have the feeling that his own party will be the ones who finally push him out?
That is, those who are left after the oncoming Route of 2010.
If there is anything to the BC story or if he’s “transgressed” the standing legalities for doing his job they will toss him out faster than 3 day old seafood leftovers.
Oba-Mao is a Failure.
