Daily Presidential Tracking Poll -- 0bama now at -14!
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 23 August 2009 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 08/23/2009 6:35:52 AM PDT by ScottinVA

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.

I think part of that is that the 1st one got pulled in favor of one of the secondary threads. Must be a major logisitical moderators headache to find and identify multiple threads, and zero (sic) and agree on just one of them. There will now be a trickle of new threads probably all day.

There are some issues, some particularly fundemental issues, where if someone is calling for fundamentally changing them or destroying them, that you cannot keep quiet about because they impact you directly. The agent of change (in this case Obama himself), must hear, see, and feel the passion that is opposing him.

So it is, more and more with Obama, and particularly over Health Care which has blown the lid off and awakened America to the type of person now sitting in the White House and those abetting him in Congress.

The slumbering giant is stirring...and he's waking up hopping mad.

Keep spreading the word...the more people who discover the facts about the Health Care monstrosity, the lower his numbers will go...and the more who will really start taking a harder look at his other initiatives (stimulus, bail-outs, take overs, Cap & Trade, FOCA, etc.) all of which are equally destructive to America.

Here is something to consider.

Is Obama off the reservation?

Does he have NPD as many think? Do he think he is a partner with God..or uh..Allah?

Is it possible that he has turned into a nightmare Manchurian candidate in that he won’t abide by his puppet masters Daley and Soros?

If they can’t get him back on the reservation will they take him out? They could threaten him with the release of his BC..but if he gets taken out as President then they have lost their puppet they worked so hard to put into office.

Soros is pretty powerful. Has no regrets about helping the Nazis. I wouldn’t want to cross him if he was my puppet master who got me elected.

But Obama seems to be off the reservation.

I don’t know. 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.

What’s especially stunning is that Scott reports a 3-day rolling average to smooth out any statistical “noise.” If this is the 3-day average on Ø’s approval, just what might the immediate, detailed data look like?

I would attribute a portion of it to loss of confidence from members of his own party, but he's losing bady from the Indies as well. I have a hard time imagining his own party would be so quick to toss him under the bus.

Going on vacation should increase his approval ratings. Unless he opens his mouth.

Well, I think we have a new world record for tanking poll numbers.

I am deeply concerned about this country. My friends and coworker’s (the bulk of whom vote Dem) are all struggling and out of work. Our good friends (not dems) just lost their job. They waited 20 years to remodel their home and finally did so this summer. Last week they were shocked to learn of a 300 person layoff and my friend got caught in it. He’s been there forever too and is a valued employee. They, like us will probably have to move out of state and uproot everyone to get work.

May the Lord have mercy on this country for turning away from reason, Israel and God. Maybe this crisis will bring people to their knees and force them to evaluate what is truly important in life.

I weep for this beautiful country.

Sorry, did not catch that when I pasted into spreadsheet.

I got a date conversion error message, but did not notice the year was wrong when I posted.

Taking data from website is at times tricky. Normally I cut from website, save in editor and then import saved text to spreadsheet. From there I create HTML table.

When I did that on Rasmussen’s site it streamed like XML. Serial not tabular. I pasted that directly into the spreadsheet. Will double check next time.
