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.

The tingle you feel on your leg is the wee-wee.
I’m sure BHO’s Ramadan pilgrimage to Martha’s Vineyard will go over well with the unemployed Americans who won’t be taking any type of a vacation this year.
I'm not sure how to interpret that.
And when your celebrity depends primarily on the skill with which you can flop your head back and forth whilst reading someone else's words you go stale pretty fast. Noone likes stale celebrities.
Great news!
:)
I think you are right. The drop in "Strongly Approve" column has been very fast and, IMHO, will not hold. The Radical Lefties will never abandon Obama. I expect the number will return to the 30% plus/minus 1% within a few day. But of course I hope I'm wrong.
From -6 to -14 in one week. 8 point fall...WOW!! Devastating results this week.
That 48% approval has to be going down to a record low when Rasmussen publishes the next full Obama performance poll early next week.
The public statement he made to Libya also exposes his glib concern - 180 dead Americans and all he says is “highly Objectionable”?
HIS policies have FAILED the economy and even Biden admitted that, HIS Healthcare drama has been an accountability free “hey I didn't draft this plan congress did”” excursion in the bizarre.
Now he's totally destroying the fiscal viability of America and he simply drops the bad news and saunter off to Lib Disneyland? What's a few trillion matter when I'm late for my fun time vacation.
He has absolutely confirmed the charges hat came from his past statements like - “that's above my pay grade” and “Present”.
To sum it up - we have an Accountability Free Commander in Chief and that is one thing that Americans MOST DEFINITELY do NOT care for and I think that is beginning to add to his eroding poll number. Again, not that his sad numbers need any help smelling any worse.
The Failure: All Wee Wee’d up pic gave me the best laugh I’ve had in months. THANK YOU!
Dear Mr. ‘President’:

Mr. President, we all know the truth is going to come out eventually. It’s always only a matter of time.

“The drop mostly came from his own party, which possibly is a result of him flip-flop on the ‘public option’ issue. In other words, these people strongly disapproved 0bama because in their view he was not leftist enough.
I think you are right. The drop in “Strongly Approve” column has been very fast and, IMHO, will not hold. The Radical Lefties will never abandon Obama. I expect the number will return to the 30% plus/minus 1% within a few day. But of course I hope I’m wrong.”
I think some of this drop could be attributed to the fact that out of work Americans, who thought Obama was going to save them, are now seeing that not only will he not save them, but he is telling them that they are just getting “wee-wee’d up” while he goes on his 15th vacation since taking office.
Very good. That will be another 2-percentage point drop in the polls, at least.
September is coming.
How many people (liberals dems etc) are still in a summber-time vacation mindset, and are more worried about if they have enough plastic cups and noodle salad for the get together on the lake, and could give a rat's behind about politics.
What happens when they wake up?
Good! The more they are in denial, and less corrective action they will take, which mean we will absolutely beat the CRAP out of them in 2010 (next year).
No problemo - just an early morning tease. The new low is far more important information...and certainly encouraging to us Americans.
I think mine was posted first, yet it got pulled. Not a big deal but I’d like to know what I did wrong???
