The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 22% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20.

Overall, the president’s Approval Index rating has been at -20 or lower every day for two full weeks and every day but two for more than a month. For President Obama, the ratings have never before remained this low for this long. Even during the final month leading to Election 2010, the Presidential Approval Index fell to minus 20 just once. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 16% Strongly Approve and 44% Strongly Disapprove.

Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-five percent (55%) at least somewhat disapprove.

Rasmussen Index Ping.

If you want on the ping list, reply to me in this thread.

I’m just a cut&paste jockey on this one.

Looks like they kinda goofed it, huh?

Trying to cover for Obamugabe?

[MrB]

I know it’s not your fault - I went to the source right before your post and saw the mistake in the article.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

New PING list. I’ll work on my spelling for the source link (the URL is correct) as the list matures.

Real number:

44A/55D. Approval up 2 from yesterday. This is right about where Hussein has been for the last year or so. Very little is actually changing in this poll.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Rasmussen just updated their “Trends” page and continue to use the bad math.

Interesting...

That is all three days of the speech in, along with all the pro American 9/11 memorial stuff, and he is still at -20. That wasn't a bump that was a pimple.

He had to set a positive move now because there is no good news for him on the horizon. Europe's banks are going to fly apart at any moment. The DOW is in the crapper. Egypt and Turkey are about to go for Israel. The Palestinians are about to declare statehood. We can't pay our bills and Obama is proposing to run up half a trillion of more debt. And he is starting out from a Base of -20.

Watch for a move by Clinton. She may not run against him herself, but nobody else will run against him without her backing. So long as she sticks with Obama he is safe. If she announces that she is resigning early rather than finishing out the term then you can expect a primary challenge within days. I would give the odds now at one in three that he will get primaries.

Looks like he’s gaining ground.

If this idiot is relected President, Americans DESERVE what they get.

If you want to see WHY he is still doing so well, visit the local Walmart on a weekend and take a look at the average customer there.

Nuff said.

rasmussen will have him getting better and once again obama will go down and then back up... just like a sine wave... scotty will put out a poll close to the truth... right before the election... but even then he may be off... he missed the brown vs coakley election in his night before the election polling.

I was at Walmart this weekend, most of the people I saw seemed decent enough.

You’re from Minnesota.

Come to a New Jersey Wal-Mart. Half of them don’t even speak our langauge and I’m not sure they are here legally.

He is not gaining ground. He had a statistically negligible bump from a speech that was supposed to turn his fortunes around. Since it was a hot air bag full of same old FAIL, the bump will wane in a few weeks at most. Obama is a loser, and even the most desperate and deluded, who *hoped* his speech meant something, will be back on the negative bandwagon soon enough.

[Pollster1]

For those who want to see Obama's "speech bump" on a chart - there it is.

‘Must be because he used the word “God” in his photo-ops yesterday.
