The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19

2 points from his all time low.

[johniegrad]

Trending to surpass it.

[SoftwareEngineer]

His overall (44%) is ALREADY at the lowest level today (matches his previous all time low)

Someone PLEASE post the “how low can you go Obama” limbo image

[saganite]

I’m waiting for the strongly disapprove line to cross the approve line which includes those who strongly approve and those who approve or somewhat approve. It’s getting close.

[SoFloFreeper]

Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s down four points since Tuesday morning and matches the lowest level of overall approval yet recorded for this President. Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters now disapprove.

With 43% Strongly Disapproving, I think the ABYSS index is now at +1. Pretty low.

Yes, some clever FREEPers have termed that the “Into the Abyss” index. Today it is at +1. I BELIEVE the lowest it has ever been on a daily basis is -2.

Dear Reader hit -21 on the SA/SD index one day a few weeks back. His Abyss index that day, if I recall correctly, was -2.

[saganite]

I didn’t realize he had already crossed the threshold. I guess the next milestone would be that he stays in the abyss on a more or less regular basis.

As this thread develops, note the silence from the usual gaggle of Ras-bashers. Just a few days ago he was a “sellout.”

[who knows what evil?]

You are correct...-2 ‘Abyss’ is the record.

[fireman15]

At some point the dims will start to wake up and see Odumbo and company as the liability that they truly are. Then one day some of them will discover that there is some missing and incomplete paperwork related to his past. Then they will blame the Republicans for letting them field a candidate that was not constitutionally qualified or qualified in any other way also. The trial lawyers will sue the Republican Party for not doing its job.

[DarthVader]

When they wake up it will be too late for them and the point of no return is rapidly approaching or if not already here.

I love the home game editions. FUN FUN FUN

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Ha! Love it! :D

>> note the silence from the usual gaggle of Ras-bashers <<

Yeah, but they'll probably be back out of the woodwork tomorrow if the "Index" goes from today's -19 back up to -18!

BTW, it amazes me how some FReepers seem to despise Rasmussen as much as he's hated by the extreme leftwing. To get a taste of the latter's Ras-bashing, see the comments to a recent Nate Silver post about Rasmussen:

In fact, as George Will has cleverly observed, none other than Obama himself predicted a fall into the abyss -- although obviously without intending the "dictionary definition" -- when during a recent speech Big Ø said the Dhimmis were on the precipice:

LOL—indeed. Just like we have fair-weather friends, pollsters have their good-poll friends. They love them when the polls go their way, they’re fudging and lying when the polls go the other way.

[MissTickly]

thank you for making my saturday happier!=)

I guess I’m not the only one who dislikes his retirement fund tanking 4% in a week.
