Rasmussen: Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (-19)
Rasmussen ^ | December 13, 2009

Posted on 12/13/2009 6:26:14 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 23% 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 -19.

Today is the second straight day that Obama’s Approval Index rating has fallen to a new low. Prior to the past two days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends).

To analyze how bad this is, you have to consider that the post-racial president probably still has 98 percent of his self-proclaimed race on board, which is 13 percent of the sample and probably “adjusted” to a higher over-representation to to account for . . . whatever.

Then you have to consider that among respondents to ANYTHING (except for the Algorongitm on global warming) 15 percent will either be contrarian or simply idiots who, like Roseanne Rosannadana, didn’t understand the question.

And you arrive at the inescapable conclusion that Mr. Zero’s index is getting close to his tagline. No wonder he’s starting to sound like a neocon. Lucky for him that almost everybody is going to believe him when he gets back into full campaign mode. Or . . . maybe not.

One thing for sure: More TV exposure isn’t the answer. This guy needs another crisis. And soon. And big. Like today.

Rahm?

Ah, the handlers are going to fix this.

Next week his 7 appearances (assuming he follows form) will feature Christmas lights surrounding the teleprompters.
Possibly blinking in sync to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra music in the background.

Yeah, I used to like that site, somewhat, back when Johnson was still partially sane.

Just ONE per cent???

That's the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat Communist party.

“Just ONE per cent???”

So only about 4% of the 0 base considers fiscal issues most important.

I can hardly say I’m surprised.

If this persists we can expect a "generated crisis" sometime soon.

Without the state run left wing media support, Obama’s approval numbers would be in the low 30s easily.

Obama’s only term is going to make Jimmy Carter’s look good.

Mark my words.... THIS will be the lowest. It goes up from here given his “Bush-like” speech (in parts) in Copenhagen and his one reasonable plank in his “jobs proposal” as it relates to small biz. Now if health care fails to pass, O’s ratings go up and so do those of Congress. Those increased ratings will not avert losses next November but it will take the political tsunami off the table.

That could only hold true if Hussein is a political animal and not a pure ideologue. Nothing he has done thus far, EXCEPT the speech in Copenhagen, points to this being the case.

Keep in mind that the President’s privates are in the firm grasp of his collectivist base. They are ready to squeeze hard if they don’t get some serious results in favor of their agenda.

I’d have guessed Lucianne. Hardly anyone even knows about LGF kooksville any more.

Hey, your graph looks a lot like the global cooling trend for the past decade.

Coincidence? I think not.

Forty-six percent strongly approve.

No, only 23% strongly approve. 46% approve.

I hope so. Remember Clinton looked deader than dead post-1994 midterm elections and he still got re-elected.

IMO, Barry 0 isn't smart enough to try to fake a move to the center like Clinton did though. Plus, his ego may be even bigger than Clinton's.

I know this: NOW is the time to start preparing investigations, impeachment and removal proceedings, and Birth Certificate investigations. Come the morning of November 3, 2010 the complete, total and absolute destruction of this usurper and his cabal MUST begin - hell look at what's been done to Tiger Woods in 2 weeks, it can be done. The ends of ridding our nation of these vermin justify any means needed as far as I'm concerned.

Considering the degree to which the LSM are in the tank for him, this translates in to minus 100% on the W scale. Imagine if he had the hostile press W endured, his approval rating might actually be lower than minus 100.

So when will the MSM lead with stories of Obama's tanking popularity?
