The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 (see trends).

LOL
Just 29% now say the U.S. is generally heading in the right direction but the president’s Job Approval remains stable. A Month-by-Month review of his numbers shows President Obama earning a 46% or 47% Job Approval rating every month for nine consecutive months. Despite the stunning upset in a Massachusetts Senate race, the passage of a health care law, the Gulf Oil Spill, economic concerns and other issues, attitudes about the president have remained broadly unchanged.
The same cannot be said, however, for the president’s political party. The number of people who identify themselves as Democrats has fallen by seven percentage points since Obama took office. Currently, 35.0% say they’re Democrats and 33.8% identify with the GOP. That gap between the parties is the smallest measured in five years. In the summer of 2008, the Democrats enjoyed a double-digit advantage.
A new book by Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen addresses the broader discontent roiling the political landscape this year. MAD AS HELL: How the Tea Party Movement Is Fundamentally Remaking Our Two-Party System , published by Harper-Collins, will be released September 14. It can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Borders, and other outlets.
Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters say that most judges are too liberal while 18% say too conservative.
On the economic front, the Rasmussen Employment Index showed little change in August. Nineteen percent (19%) of workers say their firms are hiring while 25% report layoffs.
Ann Coulter pointed out to Laura Ingraham the other night that dancing with the stars pays their guests EXTREMELY WELL.
My guess is that Bristol Palin is trying on her own to support her daughter, since the deadbeat dad is off on a walk-about.
If so, more power to her for not demanding her parents support her.
You done good! (and for the grammar police...You did real well!)
No, it’s a very smart move.
Everyone who appears on DWTS comes away with people liking them more. Familiarity breeds comfort in TV-land. We tend to admire people who are trying to do something difficult, and if they come off looking graceful and energetic, all the better.
Sarah’s numbers will go up after this.
See 26. Great minds. 8~)

Great minds. LOL
(But you’re still a better writer.)
He doesn’t have one, he is out of bullets. He didn’t know that communism doesn’t work.
You did really well. (Sorry, couldn't resist it.)
I just like to know how far down does Obama have to go for Chris Matthews to lose the tingle up his leg and instead start bleeding from his ears.
-21 is flat bottom for the bum. We have that many commies and sap-sucking socialists in this nation due for a purge.
To prevent duplication, please do not alter the published title. Thanks.
I vote rigging.
There will be a world war about summer of 2012... you heard it here first.
Did you see her appearance with Leno?
There may be a Clinton coup in the Democrat Party to give you President Hillary....
