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. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama (see trends).

I hope you’re right.... but he has to be getting desperate by now. The guy might crack. He can’t take criticism.
LOL LOL LOL
Three-day roll up of Sat/Sun/Mon.
MOn has the SNL skit factored in. I’m thinking tomorrow will be -16.
“He should’a done his Reichstag fire when he still had credibility among the Great Unwashed...”
The great unwashed, all starry-eyed and salivating, will follow him to the pits of hell. NOTHING he can say or do will offend them or make them think. They are the bOrg! They HAVE been assimilated by “The One.”
I thank GOD for the internet! Can you just imagine the frustration at the LACK of information and TRUTH all of us would have during this presidency?
I see a glimmer of sunlight on the horizon. If the former junior US Senator from Illinois is at -15%, we are well on the way to realistically evaluating the socialist.
When the rats start jumping ship.
Wonder if he can squeal like a pig....
I’m searching around for a crisis that could potentially pull him out of this nosedive, but can’t come up with anything. Attacking Iran would create a rally-around-the-flag effect among most people, but his Leftist base would turn on him and go absolutely ape. Certainly nothing he is doing is going to restore employment anytime soon.
Unless George Soros can orchestrate Bin Laden being pulled out of an Afghan foxhole in the next 30 days I just don’t see it.
I guess I’m more cynical than that. It should be good news, but Obama was someone who was run for president. He’s a figurehead and the people behind him may need something to happen (like a national security crisis) so that we ‘have’ to support him.
How could anyone still “strongly approve” of Obama’s job performance? Seriously, I just don’t get it. He’s the laughing stock of the world and our own military. Endless apology tours of the world and domestic policy based on greed and payoffs to political constituencies? I guess 27% of our fellow Americans either despise the US (wanting it brought down to the level of Zimbabwe), or they are on the upside of these wealth redistribution schemes.
On the other hand, an attack on OUR shores (because of trials in NYC?) would allow him to declare an emergency, invoke martial law, and suspend most of our Constitution. Possible end result = “president for life” Obama. Don’t know if he could pull it off, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he tried.
Not so fast. Both Barry and Joe have flat out said we are in recovery mode. Hence, the bush hanger has subsided. Any negative crap from here on out is solely at the feet of Obama and the democrats.
I'll put my tinfoil hat on with you.
Doesn't even need to be a grandiose plot. All it takes it one idiot to push on that particular boulder.
Paddle faster, I hear banjos.
Time for another major speech!!
Morris, Obamacare = Big State Tax Hikes.
There's nothing quite as effective as pitting one government bureaucracy (state) against another (fed.) Just send an email to your state's social services dept., for example, and ask them whether they know that they will lose up to 50% of their federal funding if Obamacare passes.
I don't think so. Obama is so far from the mainstream that I think he has set a new standard for "strongly disapprove". With Clinton that was based on disgust with his morals, even though he was essentially adequate in the actual performance of his duties. Half the time (and I could never predict when just from his words), his actions came close to matching what I wanted him to do. With Obama "strongly" is far too mild a word for the complete contempt we feel for this evil tyrant wannabe.
A little crisis (even nukes in multiple cities) won't change our strong disapproval - if anything another crisis added to the existing crisis fatigue will only further erode the socialist's support. Obama and those in his circle know that they have already gone too far with too little.
Zero, I mean -15 is tanking and no where to go but down.
Nah. These people don’t think that hard. It’s not complicated for them. He’s half-black. That is ALL that matters.
I bet it will even get to the point where they’ll be throwing his “race” under the bus -— saying he’s “not a black man” or he’s “not black enough” or he’s “only bi-racial.”
When he’s failing, they’ll say it’s because people hate him because he’s a black man. If he fails, they’ll say he wasn’t a black man.
Ugly.
It has nothing to do with whether Obama is black or not. His approval ratings are low because he is RED.
