The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 33% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1 (see trends and recent demographic highlights).

All this says is that the middle third don't have brains and the left third have stupid brains.
One more point and it should be headline news. One more point and they’ll bring Anna Nicole Smith back to lead the nightly news to drive away their few remaining thinking viewers. Those who give The One the benefit of the doubt are beginning to add up all the damage and deciding there is no room for doubt.
Dick Morris put it well. It’s going to take REALLY bad news to get Bambi under 50 %, people have been so brainwashed by the Press. I have no doubt it’s coming, though.
The 100 day love-in completely flopped.
New low.
That number’s only previously gone down to +2.
The real ratio is 54% approve, 45% disapprove. The trend looks good, but I wish Ras would quit with this stupid jimmying of the numbers which makes his poll so out of line with everyone else.
Unfortunately, Obama is just too greasy and nothing sticks to grease.
Ever get defensive, and DEFEND your choice, YOUR decision, to a snickering friend, relative or co-worker, even AFTER you knew that you screwed up?
This is psychology.
To some point, this is American pulling for the “underdog” -— as Obama was awhile back, but IS NO LONGER!
To some point, this is a “give the guy a chance” reaction.
To a very large measure, this IS empty “hope” that Obama will pull some kind of rabbit out of his hat and fix everything.
The Dems are going to take a huge bath next year. Obama will not have numbers high enough to help any of them. In fact, the incumbent Dems will RUN from Obama, in most Congressional districts.
Actually, this “index” makes more sense then most of the other, so called, “polls” -—
A lot of them have brains, they just see the alternative as pretty sh*tty too.
This isn't a vote between Obama and McCain or some other left leaning Republican.
It is a vote of confidence/no-confidence. The alternative to "Obama is dead-right" is "Obama is dead-wrong".
So the ones in the middle on this issue can't be too intelligent IMHO. They are the same people who vote for every levy on their local ballot but then complain about local taxes, only to keep voting for new levies.
Take out the 90pct approval rating by the blacks and this ticket not lookey so good
People are not ready to admit that their judgment was wrong and that they made a huge mistake and got folled. However ,
little by little , folks are waking up. He will be a lame duck after this summer because the race for mid terms starts
early next year and then after that it’s off to the Presidential race that now starts 2 years before the vote.
Yeah..subtract the black’s, LaRaza and white criminals from the number of supporters and there isn’t much left.
You got that right.
Or is that simply wishful thinking. During election, people kept saying McCain with Palin was going to win.
Patience.
The pain's coming, the Immediate Gratificationists are not going to be gratified by the escalating taxes that're a-comin', sky high unemployment and general all around malaise, ala Jimmy Carter.
Braveman & I live in WI.
GM close their Janesville plant, Chrysler their Kenosha plant thus putting thousands out into the streets.
Our friend FBD, OTOH, lives in OR.
Of course you've hopefully heard what the zerO's policies forced Cessna to do in Bend, OR?
This is being repeated every day across the Republic, as we all know.
It's the pain, RS.
Pain's what's going to do it and it won't matter WHAT or WHO zerO blames it on, either.
Fact is zerO will not and cannot stop the pain and that's all that'll matter. Just watch.
A Community Organizer has never relieved one iota of pain, which'll be painfully clear by the time all's said & done. ;^)
We are getting there, slowly but surely.
