The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 19% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -26
Thanks. I had the other page bookmarked. I will lock onto this one as well.
My ears just popped!
That’s very interesting ... that the SA is 19%. That just about covers all his ‘sure’ voters, I would think. Not a very good base to stand on.
Of course, a large number who do not strongly approve will still vote for him because that’s what they do.
They may gripe a little ... like Maxine Waters (until she woke up with a horse’s head in her bed and promptly turned her hate to the Tea Party) but they’ll vote for him.
Still ... very encouraging results. The enthusiasm won’t be there this time and many of his semi-admirers may not bother to vote.
I smell an engineered crisis in which the O gets to be a herO.
Libya? Will he challenge Gaddaffi to a winner-take-all round of golf!?
FWIW, I’ve noticed numerous times in the past (half dozen or so), when one is updated while the other lags, its ALWAYS been the description that follows the trends page, never the other way around.
A new low!!!
People are starting to 'Get it'.
The best we can hope for with the “vote for him anyway” crowd is that they are discouraged enough to just stay home.
These folks need to be deprogrammed.
Abyss = (-1)
(Abyss = (Strongly disapprove) - (Overall approve)
He could be at -100 and he would [still] continue his destruction of this great nation. Then we have a bigger problem... shrinking DC, Government, Media lies and entitlements to the point where our deep wounds can start healing.
We need to get back the courts, Judges and states.... local governments. Starting with the schools and removing their radical agendas, this is a life long process and we need to start planning.
Probably better just to fire them from their government jobs, I’d think.
“Lesson: When Rome is burning and all is crashing down around you and the press comes to get your comment on an historic world event, best not to be on vacation in sandals and Dockers shorts, waiting in line to get ice cream.”
Great comment!
Better yet - REMOVE the government jobs in which they are working so that no one else can be hired into those positions.
Leftists are attracted to unaccountable positions of power like moths to a porchlight. In order to not attract new moths to the porchlight, you have to remove the porchlight, not just kill the moths.
Strongly Disapprove of 45% exceeds Overall Approval of 44%.
You don’t win re-election with numbers like that unless you committ massive voter fraud, which Obama and the Rats will try to do. Republicans need to prepare.
Yep, that’s definitely the better solution. Of course, why not do both: first find them incompetent even to do the worthless jobs they currently have, fire them, and then eliminate the positions.
After all, I don’t want even to have to pay them unemployment for being laid off, do you?
