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.

Gallup allows you to download csv data.
That chart doesn’t make sense. There is a line for the green and for the yellow, but not for the red.
I agree, that’s the most important #. Those who switch to strongly dissaprove will NEVER vote for him again, he has lost them forever.
So watch for that to go over 50%... when it does... the zero is history.
Those be Obama numbers now!
Time to start blaming Obama and not George Bush fool!
Jimmah Carter is so glad Obama has replaced him as the worst ever.
Going the right direction but still too darned high. We still have too many idiots in this country and unfortunately, they vote.
I guess this is good news and bad news. Too bad there were any who did not know this guy was bad news. They really didn’t want to know the truth. It was out there for everyone to see.
