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.

Abyss -5!
Not clear——what do you mean into the abyss index?
With a normal % of the black vote he’d be in Bush territory now.
Where’s the tingling?
And don't forget that these "Beyond Petroleum" jokers have been trying to push cap-'n-trade through Congress.
I don’t think that BP bashing is proving to be nearly the PR boon that the Dhimmis thought it would be.
It is going to get worse from here. Trust me! :-)
Exactly. Imagine B.O.'s numbers if the media wasn't running interference for him.
I believe there is a historical index that shows when a CIC reaches a certain negative, it has been impossible to turn it around.
November, I can see it from our house.
BUMP!
This is what I like:
“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.”
But, this must be wrong! Jake Tapper said Obama has had a good week.
That snarky remark aside, I am so sorry that the residents of the Gulf are having to endure Obama. I like the fact that more voters are seeing the real Obama, but I would give up that joy to have less misery among our fellow citizens in the Gulf region. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their local leaders.
Epic Failure!!
And, unlike Bush, Zero has had a sycophantic press that's been doing its very best to cover for him.
This means that 25% of Americans are totally clueless, and/or blindly dedicated librobots.
Even a dead cat bounces better. Poor little socialist Barry - he wanted to lead the free world into slavery, but his following is dwindling.
Abyss = (strong approve + somewhat approve) - strong disapprove.
Currently -5.
Crash!
Awesome! Seeing these numbers gives me a thrill up my leg.
