The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

I agree. Ras is sooooooooo good as a predictor using the old likely voter standard that I'm baffled as to why he felt he had to create a new measure. When you're the best, why distract everyone away from your strength??
Obumbler couldn't lose what he has left if he tried.
He got cute, thinking he had to do something that would get the drive-bys to cite his poll, which they will NEVER do unless it favors Der Fuhrer.
I'm not sure but I think this is the first time it's actually shown a negative value. It's touched zero a couple of times but not less that I can recall.
Rasmussen doesn't track this number per se; it was invented here at FR.
The theory of course is that the number of people who have awakened to the truth and now utterly detest -21bama exceed the number of can tolerate having the TV on while he's speaking/lying on it.
Lurking dems from Washington, take heed. You better be sure that what you're trying to do is going to work, because people are waking up. We're going to have your ass for this.
Seems funny that the Rass strongly approve/disapprove index often hits -21 but never surpasses it, even for a day.
Not yet, but there's still plenty of time.
Congress is in the sewer with their False God Zero. They all go down in history as traitors to their country. Is there anything lower that these sewer slime?
Just wait unitl he starts his immigration reform next week
Too many Americans under forty, including those with post graduate degrees have no clue about the things my generation learned by age twelve. Far too many cannot even tell you what country we fought to gain our independence, some don’t even recognize the phrase, “American revolutionary war”, many cannot name the century when the,”American Civil War” occurred (if they even recognize the name), nearly none can name the year the war started or ended. Only a very small percentage can correctly name the political party of Lincoln. Most would not recognize the term,”Magna Charta” or “Battle of Hastings”, I doubt that one percent could say what the battle of Hastings was about.
People who have no knowledge worth the mention concerning history, different systems of government, geography, religious history, classic literature, etc. are not educated regardless of how many degrees they may hold and they have no business anywhere near a voting booth because they lack the knowledge to make a decision concerning who will represent them.
My new taqline agrees with you!!!
must be 23% of Americans are communists.
Public schools have been very busy the last thirty years...
or naive.
One thing I have not yet heard people talking about is how to roll back Obamacare (assuming it passes) and other things he’s done after the upcoming election. It is not enough to deliver a rebuke - even one of historic proportions - at the polls. I want to elect a congress that begins to dismantle the socialist state. And I would not stop with stuff Obama/Pelosi/Reid have done - I want to roll back stuff that we’ve all lived with and grown accustomed to, like the Dept of Education. I have yet to hear anyone talking strategy on this. Maybe its too early for that (chicken eggs not having hatched yet).
You forgot the Single Mothers....
Well, the political views of the the "base" of the Democrat Party are indistinguishable from the standard platform of the CPUSA, so yeah.
About 15 years ago, when the CPUSA stopped running candidates in elections and urged its members to vote Democrat, that should have been a clue to the rest of us. Unfortunately many didn't take the hint, hence the presidency of BHO.
“Looks like its down to his really core constituency, African Americans, white union members and college professors”
Yeah, about 1/3 of the American people are absolute idiots, traitors, etc. They’d vote for even someone like Robert Mugabe over any Republican. This group includes blacks, gays, public employee union members, and teachers and professors.
I think the lowest Obama can drop is maybe 38-39%. That leaves the hopelessly stupid and the completely uninformed in his column.
In reality, it is only about 1/3 of the nation carrying all the rest. 1/3 are utterly hopeless, 1/3 can be swayed in either direction and 1/3 are the real producers and productive people.
Well stated and every bit of it true. The Fabians’ work in education has been done.
