The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16 (see trends).
The President enjoyed a modest bounce in the polls following the passage of health care legislation last week. However, his Approval Index rating is now back to where it was last Sunday, just before the House voted in favor of his health care plan. All the bouncing of the past week has come among Democrats. There has been virtually no change in the opinions of Republicans and unaffiliated voters.

Go for it.
The more this odumbocare feces leaks out, the worse it will get for odumbo
Great outcome! The post-Ramthru fade may be well underway. But only time will tell if the Index can break through its pre-Ramthru average of ca. -18.
Forecast for tomorrow:
70% probability that the Index is at -15 or lower.
30% probability that it rises to -14 or higher.
His bounce came entirely from a bounce in “strong approves”. His strong disapprovers as at 44%, as high as it’s ever been.
So the goal was set lower and a bounce was -10? Well the Limbogame continues, but face it you are playing against snakes! And you know how low they can go!
Bounce is gone... you knew it would be.
Just wait till they get the rest of their agenda rammed through as Law before this November, using the same tactics. Amnesty will start immediately after their Easter break. The MSM will create a diversion and it will go through Congress and the Senate by “Reconciliation” in the dead of a Sunday night.
Once they find out what works, they attack it relentlessly.
This is a big fu*** deal! Hope the trend continues.
Why did he get a smallish temporary bounce at all?
In the case of my 60 day average it is pretty much steady as you go at this point with about a +.5 jump in Obama's favor from his "peak" of -15.25 on March 21. Currently I show the 60 day average at -14.72. And it is clear even from the long term average plots that the slight bump is due entirely to an improvement in the Strongly Approve numbers. The Strongly Disapprove category is more or less steady with a slight uptrend.
Also worth noting is that, for the 60 day average, the State of the Union Bump is about to pass into history. That will naturally generate what looks like a trend in our favor as those values in the -4 to -8 range fall out of the average to be replaced, hopefully, by numbers in the -12 to -18 range. But of course it is only a trend if it's a trend. Time will tell.
Here are my updated 60 day average plots:

So how did FDR raise his poll numbers back up?
“So how did FDR raise his poll numbers back up?”
He declared war. I’m just wondering who that would be against, given the sacrosanct status of all Muslim states. The UK perhaps? How about Israel?
Indeed so...
But against WHOM will the big 0 raise his arm ?!?

I believe the war is against us...
Interestingly enough, FDR's approval rating never slipped below 46%, ever. His high-water mark was something over 85%, and that came (I believe) during the first full year of WWII.
However, that did not keep the GOP from picking up sizable numbers of House seats in FDR's mid-term years. Of course, bot times, the Democrats regained those seats (with interest) in Presidential election years.
