Obama Playing Limbo
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday 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 (see trends).
Today’s results match the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President and it’s the third straight day at -14. Prior to these three days, Obama’s ratings had fallen to -14 on only one day since taking office.
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 are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove.
Pelosi can go lower:
Congressional leaders don’t fare so well. Most voters have an unfavorable opinion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 47% say the same about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Republican leaders have lower unfavorable ratings because they are not as well known.
Let’s all pitch in and buy Obama some scuba gear for Christmas.
