[Dubya-M-Dees]

Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-eight percent (58%) disapprove. OUCH!!

[Wright Wing]

Whooooaaaa!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

New low for the Kenyan.

Of course, it’s Bush’s fault.

[Buckeye McFrog]

the Milwaukee Lead Balloon effect...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

How low can he go?

[ConservativeDude]

[LatinaGOP]

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

your post is fantastic!

[Republic Rocker]

It was a matter of time..... people are now focused on the election and over the holiday really gave our situation as a country and its direction some deep thought. Result, Obama NOT!

[OKSooner]

So today is an abyss day then?

It's always a happy day when zero's in the abyss, like today at -6.

[WellyP]

What a great way to start the day! Thanks, B.O.!

I've been wondering how Obama's campaigning would go over.

He's been making a lot of inflammatory remarks -- blaming Republicans, taking credit for stuff that he didn't do, and just saying stupid things that anyone paying attention would know wasn't true.

I expected that he would turn off a lot of fence-sitters, and finally piss off people that grudgingly supported him. If this trend holds, it appears that his new "attitude" is backfiring.

[Lazamataz]

Lowest ever?

[McGruff]

[Lazamataz]

-6 INTO THE ABYSS!!! WOW!!!

[LoneStarC]

Stated slightly differently, today’s poll indicates that 41% of americans are dumber than a sack of rocks and 23% so dumb that can’t focus long enough for their intelligence to be measured.

How appx. one out of four americans can fail to understand will happen to their and their children’s futures if liberty is replaced with socialism is beyond understanding.

[mowowie]

I had a feeling this would be bad for him today.

[gumbyandpokey]

One thing Obama is clearly doing, and I give him credit for it, I guess, is that he’s fully engaging himself in this election and making it a referendum on his Presidency. If that doesn’t rev up the GOP base and motivate turnout, then nothing will. IMO, Obama must see this as a continuation of the 2008 campaign because he’s very much in campaign mode.

[GonzoGOP]

people are now focused on the election and over the holiday really gave our situation as a country and its direction some deep thought.

The 9-11 anniversary isn't going to help him much either. Combined with his obvious bias in the handling of the 9-11 victory mosque and Koran burning, is going to spotlight the foreign policy failures of his administration.

In a way Obama has become electoral poison. So his party is trying to run away from him. But he won't get off the stage and in doing so forces them to be identified with him.

Only the sabotage of the Blue Blood GOP can save Obama now. The GOP attacks on Angle in Nevada have allowed Reid to have a chance of reelection. Murkowski is threatening to do a wright in and sabotage our chances of holding the seat in Alaska. Crist it doing his best to hand Florida to the Dems.

[Caipirabob]

Oh no! He’d better get out there fast and make a speech! Perhaps he could blame President Bush and promote more stimulus packages! Yeah, that’s the ticket...

[November 2010]

KK. Now lets unleash the ads from 1,000 political campaigns across the country to make sure that this peaks on Nov. 2. Hope and Change baby!

[C210N]

Nothing like the smell of roasting historic-ness, rasmussen-style, in the morning.

Can I be the first to say it? -24bama. -24bama. -24bama!!

[rod1]

Apparently the only thing “Lean” around the federal government is Barry’s approval numbers.

[rod1]

When is his next full press conference? Will he set a record for fewest in first two years in recent history?

[mmichaels1970]

He's been making a lot of inflammatory remarks -- blaming Republicans, taking credit for stuff that he didn't do, and just saying stupid things that anyone paying attention would know wasn't true.

Makes him look like a big cry-baby. As dumb as the voting public may be at times, Americans still do not like cry- babies.

[pburgh01]

Obama and his handlers, I suspect Rahm have been trial ballooning making Boehner the next Newt Gingrich. He mentioned him 8 times in a speech yesterday. Right out the old Dem playbook, looking for Bogeyman. I cannot remember a President who so regularly whines about “The other Party” so much. Obama is no leader, he is a professional campaigner, that besides his absolute and utter dark soul and it's fruits of lying, corruption and hate. He is out of ideas, out of energy and out of gas. With that all being said , with all his photo ops with a rainbow of union drones behind him, and more whining about Republicans I expect his polls to rise a bit. Maybe -14 in a few days.

[GonzoGOP]

Forty-seven percent (47%) Strongly Disapprove

This is getting very close to 50%. When more than half the people Strongly Disapprove you are looking at an electoral blow out. The people with strong opinions are the ones that are going to show up and vote. GOTV is just for getting a higher percentage of your sides the kinda-sorta approves to the polls. But if the other side has 51% locked in no matter how much GOTV you do it can only have impact locally. State and nation wide races are out of reach at that point. Outside a few inner city districts, where they can cheat up 110% voter turnout, the dems are on their way to being toast.

Now if the GOP can take advantage of this is another matter.

[Frantzie]

I want to see -30 soon. What happened in Milawaukee? I heard he gave a speech in PArma (?), Oh and they had to go around trying to find people to fill the hall.

He is an evil POS islamist and MCCain is his little puppet.

[C210N]

First time evah: -24, and only days after the first time evah: -23

Ties the 47% record for strongly disapprove, only days after the first time it hit 47%.

Ties the 41% record for lowest Total Approve (last was 6/18, index -21 that day).

Ties the 58% record for highest Total Disapprove (last, again, was also on 6/18).

A daily swing in the index of -6%. The record for swing was -7%, happening on 3/8/2009... from +15% to +8%. The only other time it was -6% was on Feb 20, when it went from -11% to -17%.

Abyss of -6%. Record and historic. Only neared on 9/5 and 6/18 with -5%.

[GoCards]

WHAT! It was -18 yesterday, first ever at -24, Im stunned, stunned I tell you.

[HerrBlucher]

That is a pretty easy prediction, the ras poll is all over the place and seems to naturally flux back into the teens after being in the 20’s, and for no reason at all except the inherent erratic nature of all polling, and stat variation.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Ears has to be steaming today. Since this is a rolling average, yesterday had to have been very bad. Ras of all people may be the one who pushes Obie over the edge.

Now where did I put that movie theater grade popcorn???

[Arrowhead1952]

[screaminsunshine]

I bet Obama and the Crats were a big subject at family Labor Day BBQS. At mine the Libs were subdued very easily and 2 lifelong Crats are switching to Republican.

[RipSawyer]

Yes, his strong disapproval is now double his strong approval with one point to spare.

[Brown Deer]

it’s down to just his friends and relatives........

Apparently so: Diana, Goddess of the Hunt

Diana Gale Matthiesen's Blog: "I would march through the gates of hell for Barack Obama."

[xzins]

Looks like Obama’s attacks against Boehner aren’t working. His stimulus speeches aren’t working. His attacks on Bush aren’t working.

If I were a democrat, I’d be pleading with Obama on bended knee to fade into the background and just shut up.
