The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 31% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11

Then the odor shifts to more banking regulation with the crooks Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. No press allowed by Mr. Transparency.
Later today, BO will sign the meaningless and worthless executive order, with a bunch of so-called pro-life Demonrats. No press allowed by Mr. Transparency.
That’s down!!! All he got out of this Healthcare drama was a one day bump to -10? He is in more trouble than I thought.
I hope you’re right. Although his terrible numbers during the debate, Democrats still followed him slavishly. :(
With the media spin it takes a couple of days for the real info to get out. A few papers are now reporting that odumbo and his top staffers are exempt from this new “great” bill. That will leave a mark
If 42 % strongly agaginst is the new bottom, roughly, then he’s guaranteed to lose many seats in the Fall.
The bounce comes entirely from increased enthusiasm among Democrats. Today, 60% of Democrats Strongly Approve while only 9% Strongly Disapprove. A week ago, those figures were 46% Strongly Approve and 14% Strongly Disapprove.
Among Republicans, the President’s Approval Index was at -66 a week ago and is the same today. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the President’s Approval Index rating was -25 a week ago and -26 today.
I hope you’re right. Although his terrible numbers during the debate, Democrats still followed him slavishly. :(
I beg to differ, slaves don’t get paid (off).
The media hype only lasted a day?
Zero is weaker than they are all letting on.
It’s going to take a persistent effort to keep the sheeple aware. Here’s the problem:
The bill passed. Today, the world is the same, daily life is unaffected. The sheeple are happy, the debate is off of the front page, the Democrats are all positive and happy. The Republicans are unhappy, and being painted as racist whiners.
The sheeple will continue to be happy, until this bill slowly begins to screw up their life. If conservatives aren’t around to point out exactly WHY these bad things are happening, the sheeple may not understand. I am prepared to be that a** who is constantly reminding my Democrat friends why things are going to hell in a handbasket.
not all democrats, however. I’ve read in the comments section of many online newspapers of people who voted for Bam (or who considered themselves democrats) and regret it very much. They’re very disturbed at what’s been going on.
Ovomit will be in the toilet soon!
Yup.
Compare this to the bump he got from the state of the union.
“Obama Enjoys Big Bounce After State Of The Union
Forty-nine percent of voters surveyed Jan. 29-31 approve of President Obama’s job performance vs. 51% who disapprove, according to Rasmussen. That’s up from 46%-54% just before his State of the Union speech.
More notable is that 35% strongly approve of Obama’s performance, up from 25% before the speech and the highest since mid-June. Now 39% strongly disapprove vs. 42% before. So the net disapproval index is -4% vs. -17% before the speech. That’s Obama’s smallest intensity gap since Oct. 10,”

He went as high as -4 then, but then that didn't last either.
It will drop as the details of this marvelously crafted bill leak out.
I think that yesterday at -10 was the best he could do (bump-wise). That’s not much of a bump. State of the Union brought him up to -4. He is in for a landslide. I’m a little worried about the amount of damage these ruthless people will force through before they get booted.
When Zero does something they don't like (like let the CIA off the hook) this number goes way up.
It's down from a few days ago because the left has been hoodwinked by the favorable MSM coverage. But there's a high number on the left that DO NOT LIKE this bill primarily because of the mandates. So IMO this number is sinking again as the left digests this bill.
No, he got about a 10 point bump. He was down by 20/21 a few days ago, but Obamacare is more unpopular than ever.
That’s exactly my fear. i sent the American Thinker piece on obam’s strategy on selling this to the sheeple to a bunch of my just casually politically observant friends this AM and said DO NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP and make sure your friends don’t either, we have to vote these socialists OUT.
Real-life personal experience and the grapevine trumps TV propaganda, every time.
Hint: if all you care about is American Idol, and you are NOT getting the Green Shoots, Skittles, and Unicorn farts you were promised, you get disillusioned QUICKLY.
And if you go to the Free ClinicTM and find your Dr. is Maj. Hasan (because all the American doctors have quit), you get REALLY pissed.
Cheers!
With that constituency, he walks on water. Nothing he does or doesn't do will lose those people. My guess is that number is about 23 - 25% of the population as his popularity has never fallen below that figure.
He wants to expand that base by using this health care bill as a lure along with amnesty for millions of illegals already here, many of them Hispanic.
I think PART of his boost in the ratings comes from the very many Americans of all ethnicities who have lost their jobs and their health insurance with it. They look to the Health Care plan as a solution to their current dilemma a dilemma which should also concern us. Talking economic theory to them when their needs are immediate is cruel,counterproductive, fruitless and stupid.
The GOP should use any opportunity which presents itself in the future to replace or modify this bill with one which addresses the needs of those Americans, addresses current flaws in Health care, freezes out illegals, and gets the government out of providing healthcare benefits.
We will an arsenal of political issues to beat the Rats in November and an even BIGGER one in 2012 to flush out Obama.
For whatever reason, too many Americans find this Marxist Muslim appealing.
