The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 35% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. That’s the highest level of strong approval for the President in more than seven months and reflects a significant bounce following the State-of-the-Union address. Before the speech, just 27% voiced strong approval.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) now Strongly Disapprove down from 42% before the speech. Putting it all together gives Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. That’s the President’s best Approval Index rating in months. In fact, he’s earned a better rating on only two days in the past six months (see trends).

Wow ! Should soon be in positive territory. And to think that the MSM is on a deathwatch.
Wow. I cant look at this poll. I am going to check back in a couple of weeks. Mercy.
The stupidity of the masses is, well...unbelievable!
I need a drink....
Now he’s really going to try and ram through Healthscare....or...is that why the bounce - because people think it’s dead?
As soon as the afterglow of the SOTU fades, so will the numbers.........
49 percent approve is not so great when the entire media fawns over him.
I think you are right. People think he is dropping Healthcare. It seems he isnt doing anything right now which is positive.
You’ve got to work on your titles! Say “President” or 0bama...even the date. Including the date and the name will aid future searches, otherwise, search results on the title bring back ambiguous results.
You knew he was going to get a bump after the SOTU. It will go down next week.
OMGWTF?
It’s because people think health care is dead, and Barry is making like he’s bipartisan.
Most people don’t know who Alinsky was.
Populism works for a dolt like Bill Oreally....works fine for leftists too.
Cmon folks, the 50% of people who would approve of this guy in the first place have no observable principles. they will sway back and forth and will never completely reject this kind of demagogue on principle.
What does this mean for November? Are people like...”aww, gee. BO isn’t so bad.” “Think I’ll vote for my rat dem again”!
I think the result from Saturday (and put in on Sunday) was a huge outlier.
I hope that on Wednesday we will see it back in the -12 range.
But, maybe not. Maybe Obama scored some real points with his State of the Union.
WEEKDEND POLLING RESULTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO LEGIT POLLSTER USES WEEKEND RESULTS .
Obama just has his base pumped up a bit from his really lackluster (to us) State of the Union speech. All promises he can't keep. Trust me, those high numbers will dribble back down over time. The Strongly Disapprove of 39% is in the same range that he has been in for quite some time now so he is making no headway with OUR BASE. Keep the faith.
Most people don’t know who Alinsky was.
...........................................
Exactly. Most people never follow politics the way we do, they get their cnn or whatever and just pretty much buy it hook line and stinker. My parents who love Obama didn’t even know who William Ayers was in November 2008. The media MUST pay someday for this. Bastards.
Yes and the Republicans are going along with it.
