Only 63% of Republicans strongly disapprove? Wow, it’s good news O’s numbers are tanking but when are Republicans going to stop tripping over their own feet?

At least 58% of Dimocrats are blinded by partisanship.

This isn’t a sports contest; this is a battle for freedom. Those partisan Dimocrats are helping to destroy the United State of America.

It is nothing less than that.

Just looked at the outputs. Obviously a mistake on Rasmussen's part with 58% approval and 63% disapproval. I think the real numbers are 51 approve and 48 disapprove. I think he mixed the strongly approved by political affiliation numbers in here.

You can bet of the 37% who DO NOT strongly disapprove of this clown, 99.99% of them are avid viewers of the evening network news.

I’m confused by his over all numbers on approve/disapprove.

Then that’s different from his other daily tracking numbers.

I noticed that too....maybe someone here that is more knowledgeable about polling and stats can straighten us out on this.

... and the unemployment rate hasn't even hit 15 percent and
the inflation rate hasn't even broken 20 percent ... YET.

“At least 58% of Dimocrats are blinded by partisanship.”

It is hard to admit when you make a mistake and even harder when we were telling people back last summer what Obama was all about. If we keep hemoraging jobs, don't be surprised if you see a hardcore blue dog split and the people that affiliate themselves with the Democratic party start to evaporate.

Rasmussen just changed the numbers in the table a moment ago. 51 to 48 is correct.

A moment ago, the table showed 58 to 63.

Zero himself is imaginary.

He thinks he is the Al-Mahdi (12 Imam, Hidden Imam).

He has no history, it has been erased.

The 58% is only for Democrats and the 63% is only Republicans....a different sample set.

He corrected it. On the day by day rolling tally, he originally had 58% approve and 63% disapprove, but in the article he had the 51-48 spread. I pointed that out above, and now he has corrected it on his by day numbers.

It was on his overall daily rolling numbers. He got the overalls, and party affiliation numbers crossed. It is corrected now.
