The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 25% 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 -16. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
The 25% who Strongly Approve matches the lowest level of enthusiasm yet recorded. That’s partly the result of declining enthusiasm among Democrats. While Democrats continue to offer their approval, just 43% Strongly Approve.
Among all voters, 36% now believe that the president is doing a good or an excellent job handling the economy while 45% rate his performance in this area as poor. Seventy-one percent (71%) of Democrats say he’s doing a good or excellent job on the economy while 74% of Republicans say poor. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 52% give the President poor marks when it comes to the economy.
On national security matters, 39% rate the president’s performance as good or excellent while 36% say poor. Most voters nationwide lack confidence that NATO will do its part to help in Afghanistan. The President’s new plan for Afghanistan draws mixed reviews from voters.

But, but, but he won the No bull piece prize.
I wonder how much of this downtrend is from the heavy-handed EPA maneuver...

At this point he is being slammed on multiple fronts. Not even his bed buddies in the RAT press can save him. He is widely perceived as a do-nothing, know nothing, novice FAILURE. As many here are fond of saying: EPIC FAIL.
Rasmussen Obama Poll
11/12/09 (today) is -16%
1/21/09 it was +28%
In 11 months 44% swing.
AMAZING crash & burn Obozo
Put this together with the PPP poll released this week that says 40% say Obama should be impeached. 25% republican, 10% independents, 5% democrats. This spells trouble.
GOOD MORNING!!!! unless you are an odumbo supporter
++++++++++++++++++
Right on!
What is the point is posting Gallup Poll?
One of the most biased toward Obozo.
WOW!!!!
he wants health care by Christmas. Why not -20 by Christmas?
The trend is still our friend. Let's see what the next two days bring.
This is a 4 point drop from yesterday, and yes he has been at -15% several times.
In 11 months 44% swing.
AMAZING crash & burn Obozo
+++++++++++++
The other amazing thing to watch - his overall approval (including only 25 strong and 21 somewhat) is almost being overwhelmed by ‘stongly disapprove’ at 41 and climbing. That strongly disapprove was recorded at 42 on 11/24 and 8/30.
I’ve long thought and occasionally posted, that when the youngest voters no longer think Obama is ‘cool’ then he’s completely toast as even the most opportunistic elements of the culture will back away from bammy worship that gripped the nation for the first 3 months or so after and about 18 months before 11/2008.
“I inherited a - 16 from my predecessor”
You made my day!
This approval has to be not only Obozo’s, but for the scum democrats in Congress who are pushing their communist policies on us.
The sooner all the filth that is Obozo is impeached and removed, the better.
I say it's 50/50 Obama will resign in shame within the next two years. The economy can't get better, because inflation has yet to hit, and the media is slowly but surely starting to get sick of this sham of a White House.
Or, perhaps I'm just into wishful thinking this morning.

When these more liberal polls show the same downward freefall, then the RAT press will be FORCED to capitulate to the reality that zero, er -16bama is a failed prez.
That story is good for us, despite the RAT press and pollsters bigotry.
LOL. Rasmussen polls didn't exist before Clinton. The only way to compare these trends to previous terms is via polls that also existed back then.
What are you looking for, cherry-picked hockey-stick polling data from the University of East Anglia!?!! LOL!
I think this trend is more informative than Scott's "strongly this - strongly that" daily number.
If Scott had taken data for Obama/Carter or Bush/Truman then I'd use that data!
Good news for a Saturday when the college football season is basically over.
