The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 33% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7
Overall, 50% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s up four points since the morning of the speech and is the first time his approval has reached 50% among likely voters since November 16. Fifty percent now (50%) disapprove.
one glimmer of hope:
The bounce comes almost entirely from those in the president’s party. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats now Strongly Approve, up from 50% before the speech. However, the speech appears to have had the opposite impact on unaffiliated voters. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 50% now Strongly Disapprove. That’s up from 42% before the speech.
I’d say that part of that has got to be just a fluctuation...
That’s nothing, really. Lots of people in the center and on the left were snookered by his fine words. They’ll know soon enough that the words are just that, and he’ll start tanking again fairly quickly.
The words “dead”, “cat” and “bounce” come to mind...
Perhaps it’s the “celebration” from Browne’s victory in Mass and the real hope it will stop the socialism. I can’t believe Americans have changed and now bought into what the snake is selling.
It just proves that there is a sucker and fool born every minute.
Who are these people who change their mind every other day? First they approve, then they do not, then they do again. Does Rasmussen poll the same individuals each time? If so, then the future of this Republic is in the hands of a few morons.
Snake oil salesman at his finest, that was some strong snake oil he was selling..
I think it might be that, plus folks are not as angry as they were when health care looked like a done deal.
He gained 8 pts in strongly approve. What a bunch of sheep Democrats are.
He*l if they are stupid enough to vote for him the first time .......what has changed?
[I can’t believe Americans have changed and now bought into what the snake is selling.]
They haven’t. When voters figure out he was full of it in the SOTU, his polls will fall even lower than before. This was expected. Presidents always get a bounce from their focus grouped SOTU speech.
It will drop. The Stock Market and bussiness didn’t believe him and phony baloney.
The 33% approval rating isn’t very impressive.
Especially when you discount the 13% who are black and approve of him based solely on skin color. Then you are left with a 20% approval rating.
Out of that 20% there are a good number of whites who blindly support him because he is black and/or a socialist.
Its an outliar! That is just to much in a short time.
