The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 (see trends).
These results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, more than two-thirds of the interviews for today’s update were conducted after the president’s speech to the nation. Tomorrow’s update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted after the speech.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 41% 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-eight percent (58%) now disapprove.

We know.
We have to keep in mind that Ras polls are about 7-10 points lower than other polls, so Dems will just point out those polls.
Ras really has to get to 36 or so for there to be a real drop in the other polls unfortunately.
It appears he uses likely voters, while the others use registered voters or just all voters (such as ABC News/Wash Post, which uses all voters despite using Registered voters in late 2009....could have been because it was an election cycle then and not now for the presidency....or a way to twist the numbers in Obama’s favor).
The likely voter numbers are by nature worse, while registered is slightly better...say 45-47. Adults...which includes many of the major media orgs...have Obama basically at 50.
He’s very close to going below 50 in their polls as well though, which is bad news for him.

It's only fitting, as he was the recipient of HUGE donations by BP.
Not only that, but BP was a backer of Cap & Tax.

“Oprah gave them her personal assurance yesterday: “He’s doing the best he can.”
Get a clue, Oprah. This is EXACTLY why his popularity ratings are in the tank. Americans now realize they may as well have Homer Simpson in the WH for all the good this president is doing right now (apologies to Homer: please don’t sue me for libel).
His falling numbers makes him even more dangerous to try something even more radical to save his sorry kommie a$$.
Fair Enuf!
You Have Brightened My Day, Kimo Sabe!
You should sign your stuff. Even with a Pseudonym. It IS very GOOD.
Yes, and that press is guilty of treason by withholding the real news and truth with the agenda of manipulating election outcomes for DemocRats. If the mainstream populace, those that don’t get cable (Fox News) or have internet, knew what has really been going on, they’d be in that disapproval group too. At least, most of them. That leaves a hard-core leftist group of about 1/3 of the population still supporting Zero. But 2/3 of the country is what we need as far as official disapproval.
Ok, I get it and I think you guys are right.
He still doesn’t care...he continues marching on his agenda...to implement the “dreams from his father.”
Pardon my addition to your list.
Beautiful!
That’s really funny but in a tragic way, of course. But good job!!
Smarter than Einstein in fact!
He has all the degrees and awards to prove it too!
And don't be thinking he was just given those degrees and awards because he was black through affirmative action programs, he obviously EARNED every thing he has ever achieved (that he has chosen to reveal at least). We should feel honored that such a brilliant man as he, is willing to lower himself to try and solve our problems every one of which was caused by Bush.
/S
the tingle up his leg has turned into the runs down his leg.
That's what one market "guru" on talk radio was saying on a "Business at Night" show recently. He actually thinks it's worth investing in BP now, because it produces oil all over the world and the demand for oil isn't going away anytime soon. He also said that while the BP name is hated, it could change its name to Amoco, one of the companies it purchased.
I have no idea if he's right, but it's interesting to consider.
