The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 27% 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 -17

Down to his hardcore base!

[Slyfox]

Dang it all! We've got to stop letting dad out on the lawn!

[LostInBayport]

I want -24 back!

[marstegreg]

Looks like he’s done his “business” in congress too!

[moovova]

I liked his -24 better...

[Paine in the Neck]

I want -24 back!

Be patient. It will return shortly.

[Ryman]

Interesting to see the old bounce is still going on...-24 to -12...ridiculous. I do not believe daily polling and averaging will produce this type variance continually without some type manipulation of the polling list or raw polling results. It is still apparent that there is an attempt to keep both sides of the political spectrum interesting in the daily results.

[marstegreg]

Don’t worry he is well on his way and after the “set up” Town Hall today, he’ll be wishing for -17.

The overall downward trend is more telling than the daily polls. His highs are now -13 or -14. That’s pretty bad.

24 percent of Americans would “strongly approve” of Hitler, Charles Manson, or Jack the Ripper if he had a “D” beside his name. Perhaps we need to consider Lithium in the drinking water instead of fluoride.

The only good news is that now when Obama peaks he can't get out of the negative double digits. But I got burned when he was in the negitive twenties for several days in a row and thought he wouldn't come back from that.

The other news on Ras was generally good. Even with his putting Delaware into the Democrat column we still have a minimum four seat pickup with and additional seven listed as tossups. If we can take six of those seven (we have within MOE leads in that many) we can still get Senate majority. And the dems are now having to dump money into West Virgina (where they didn't expect an election) and ironically Delaware where they had written it off.

The biggest thing is that Obama will not be able to stir up his people without stirring up a greater number of our people. That means that if there is any last minute surge it will be for our candidates.

Thorazine would be a better remedy.

Is not Chris Coons the Democrat candidate for Delaware Senate a Marxist like Obama?

Coons popularity will look like Obama’s once that little factoid becomes universally known.

[LibLieSlayer]

ras still stuck in his sine wave polling I see. Up to -15 and back to -20 to -21... then back up to -15 and so on.

I heard Beck say something about that yesterday. I hope he elaborates today.

Pretty much.

The hardcore Dem voter's main concern is who will win on American Idol and when will K-Mart have a sale on dump pants and beer....

Once 0bama loses the House and the Senate (or almost), what will that do to his base? How will they view their savior who shot his wad in 18 months and will live out his term as a lame duck? What will happen when the House committees begin to document the corruption and lies?

I agree there is a batshit crazy base but even some of them may peel off when they see the massive fail.
