President Bush Job Approval
Saturday January 28, 2006--Forty-eight percent (48%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.
It is not clear whether the uptick in Job Approval over the past two days is a lasting change or merely statistical noise.
The President earns approval from 79% of Republicans, 23% of Democrats, and 39% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
The Minnesota Senate race is a toss-up. Premium Members can also see our latest data on the Minnesota race for Governor.
Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman (D) seems to be in solid shape for re-election, despite grumbling from within his own party. In Colorado, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (D) has not yet decided if he's running for Governor. If he does, he's the early frontrunner.

Occasionally, due to the rounding process, the totals for "Strongly" and "Somewhat" Approve or Disapprove presented in the left column do not match the totals presented in the right column.

During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and nearly as many as all competitors combined.

Not much of an up tick
wow..he might well break 55% after the SOTU..
Clearly points to impeachment.
When the other side is "Stuck on Stupid" we have no where else to go but up.
It will be 55% after the State of the Union.
The lower his numbers, the better he's doing and the more terrorists we are killing.
Time for some Zogby special sauce weekend polling to knock 10% off those numbers.
"wow..he might well break 55% after the SOTU.."
Methinks he will.
Don't forget that this is just adults being polled. I believe that if he only included "likely voters", like he did for the 2004 election, then the results would be higher.
Do you want Bush to protect you or do you want a Democrat to protect the terrorists that are trying to kill you.
That would separate the humans from the suicidal mob!
Someone has to tell rassmussen to go away. His numbers are getting in the way of the leftist activist agenda that is anti Bush .
Beats Fox News Opinion Dynamics which they are balleyhooing all over the place, which has him at 41% and disapproval in the low 50s. Their only saving grace is to keep pointing out that Americans don't like the Dems more than they don't like Bush. So guess I'll take "Rass"...
The key number I always note is the percentage of non affiliated independents that support Bush.
check out the burka babe swiming thread...I'll ping you..
Either way you look at it Bush is polling at around 45%. The Fox poll had 7% more democrats.
This is clearly Bush's fault.
I just did. And added some much needed eye candy. ;o)
The other point is the 21% of Republicans that don't approve. Bush could easily appeal to them with an immigration crack down, real deficit reduction, further tax cuts, etc.
no offense to the poster here, but if you look at the last month of numbers, this particular poll is either an anomaly or the beginning of a trend, but in either case, no conclusion can be drawn from it as of yet.
