The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20 (see trends).
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 75% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 12% Strongly Approve and 52% Strongly Disapprove.

I did not watch the speech cause I cancelled TV and the Islamo-marxist usurper sickens me.
How bad was the speech? Nightmarish? Like the Jimmy Carter malaise sweater speech?
12% Strongly Approve and 52% Strongly Disapprove.
That's a -40 rating with independents. I don't think he can recover from that kind of rejection among independents.
Here is all polling on W, the 43rd.

W didn’t reach the 45% approval numbers until 2005.
Look for it to dive a few more points by the end of the week, since his speech bombed big time.
forgive me, as I am somewhat out of touch last few days...but what was the speech last night? BP response, I would assume?
That’s a -40 rating with independents. I don’t think he can recover from that kind of rejection among independents. “
long way to go before Nov 12, obviously...but...I am starting to believe that, also.
(I sure hope ‘the hole’ is plugged before that, though...this is really very depresssing)
From the Rasmussen article:
“Overall, 42% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-seven percent (57%) now disapprove. Those are the lowest ratings yet recorded for this president. The president’s approval rating has held steady in the 46% - 47% range for six months and it remains to be seen whether this new low is merely statistical noise or the start of a lasting change.”
I will take my wife out to dinner the day his poll #’s drop into the 30’s !
ROFL!
WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
OBAMA = EPIC FAIL.
Is his big post-speech bounce factored in yet???
It was only this April it was consistantly 29-30.

“while 75% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove.”
Darn, 25% is a lot of RINO’s.
Even the Dims over at DU are exploding!
That 24% mostly consists of certified koolaid drinkers who wouldn’t care if Obama was Joseph Stalin incarnate.
We can only hope the Kenyan King makes another speech to drive it down more.
If he goes golfing and gives us the finger it would go up.
“Carter though is a firmly dedicated leftist that GA people should understand by now.”
FL (in Ga)
A certain President comes to mind when I read this.
HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES
The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: “I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,” she said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer’s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.”
“Very good,” said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next:
“I sold magazines,” she said, “I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.”
“Very good, Jenny,” said the teacher..
Eventually, it was Little Johnny’s turn.
The teacher held her breath ...
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full
of cash on the teacher’s desk. “$2,467,” he said.
“$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What in the world were you selling?”
“Toothbrushes,” said Little Johnny.
“Toothbrushes!” echoed the teacher, “How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?”
“I found the busiest corner in town,” said Little Johnny, “I set up a Dip & Chip stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample.”
They all said the same thing, “Hey, this tastes like dog shit!”
Then I would say, “It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?”
“I used the governmental approach of giving you something sh*tty for free, and then making you pay to get the sh*tty taste out of your mouth.”
I noted that Frank Luntz had a group on last night and two of the three people still standing up for Obama were the blacks. The other one looked like a cross between hippy and recent college grad....which explains a lot.
