The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 21% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20.
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.
Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-five (55%) at least somewhat disapprove.
Zero’s only shot is in the hands of Hispanic legal and illegal voters. Look for him to direct a significant portion of his war chest to generate “street action” similar to ACORN but geared toward the Hispanic community. La Raza is sitting in the catbird’s seat.
Obama is headed for a mental breakdown. He no more should be POTUS then I should eat swiss cheese on the Moon!!! That insane, stupid, useless five hour trip he took to Puerto Rico last week proves he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer!!! What an insult to all Puerto Ricans!!! Didn’t see much press and video coverage, did ya? Know why? No one in PR gave a damn that the America hater was there. Wow!!! About one thousand people showed up at the airport to greet him!!! That’s 1000 out of four million people on the island. Not a good showing, you think?
39% would vote or Obama vs. 44% for a generic Republican.
Hey, I don’t care about the 6% who say they approve of, but wouldn’t vote for. him!

Keep up the good work, boy.
Good post, and thanks for the link..You’re correct, it’s not each individual number that’s important it’s the trend line, and the TREND IS OUR FRIEND..
Maybe he will see these numbers and upchuck and die.
“This is a steep drop and is continuing. I wonder what caused it.”
More than likely it was the poor economic news and the uncertainty about the possibility of recovery.
How about the pub candidates beating up on him in the debates and stump speeches?
Especially when you spend your time finding ways to give them Other People's Money.
This Libya-War Powers thing is eroding the strong support from his base. Plus the current economic news.
A local talk radio station has a lib host on Saturday morning. Today he was interviewing some so-called “expert” who defended Obama’s Libyan policy. He said despite being advised by White House legal council that he was in violation of the War Powers Act, Obama the “constitutional legal scholar” (barf) made his own decision that it was legal. Then the “expert” swooned that Obama’s approval rating is still around 50% despite all the bad economic news because people just “like” him. The media will continue to prop him up. He’s not going anywhere. He will run for re-election.
