The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% 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 -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. The previous low of -12 was reached on July 30 (see trends).
Prior to today, the number who Strongly Approved of the President’s performance had never fallen below 29%. Some of the decline has come from within the President’s own party. Just 49% of Democrats offer such a positive assessment of the President at this time.
At the other end of the spectrum, today’s total for Strongly Disapprove matches the highest level yet recorded. The 41% mark was reached just once before and that came one week ago today. Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans now Strongly Disapprove along with 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.
Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” Topics include health care, the deficit, stimulus package, state polls and more.
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 (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove.

That’s a good one!
I hope you are right. At least with your scenario, the country pretty much continues on as it always has.
Thanks much Meek, I have a whole folder of dancing gifs, lol. Have that one too.
Good grief! Boy, has she packed on the pounds!
That is a great cartoon Meek!
1. Assuming African-Americans remain loyal to Obama, only 17% of non-African-American voters strongly approve of Obama and only 38% of non-African-American voters somewhat approve.
2. Mindful that Gallup says unaffiliated voters typically combine with Democrat voters to provide Democrats with their margin of victory, the election deciding unaffiliated voters seem to be breaking 2 to 1 against Obama.
Also, I don’t think people are that thrilled with the president telling them they are stupid and wee weed up when they don’t agree with his policies.
The Red Sox are the Green
The Yankees are Red..
right ?
LOL
The old folks probably discriminated against black folks anyway and can clearly remember when black folks had to go to the back of the bus. Some of these old white grandmas probably sat right up front. Time to replace them with illegal minorities who will become the majority when they take the old folks’ place.
hehe!
I wish! :)
Offering sensible alternative legislation would be a start. And buying TV time to let the voters know it exists (The MSM will ignore it).
Imagine if they were doing their jobs rather than covering for him every step of the way.
I disagree, Marie. Once his disastrous policies are in place, we’ll be hard pressed to get rid of them.
We need to stop him now.
Woo hoo! Cheers!
When he drags Bo out, you’ll know he’s finally officially worried.
I’d like to be able to trust them. But I’m afraid they will go the way of the PUMAs last fall.
I weep for this beautiful country.
Good post. I share this view and I weep for my country daily. I just finished watching the latest (great) video from WND.com "A Nation Adrift" last night, and it is utterly tragic to see the systematic destruction of our nation, from our founding fathers deep rooted AND voiced belief that America IS a Christian nation, and if we ever depart from being a Christian nation and leaders who are not Christian, then we will be destroyed from within. And then it showed the systematic destruction especially from 1962 when the Supreme Court ruled against prayer & Bibles in the schools. It has been a devastating downward slide from that day. God have mercy on our formerly once great Nation. I pray that God will destroy 0bama & his fellow treasonous culprits, the demoRAT party.
BTTT
Ras appears to be reflecting the new Zogby’s 45% Obama approval numbers. Obama in a free fall. :-)
