Rasmussen: Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Turning point -22bama)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 6/22/2012 | Rasmussen

[C210N]

Intensity of support or opposition can have an impact on campaigns. Currently, 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22 (see trends).

[C210N]

This could be zer0's defining moment, as we proceed to November... A great deal of Constitution trashing has occurred in the last week or so, and it's now coming to a head.

[LibsRJerks]

Wow. Be on alert now, as this man may become more dangerous as he’s backed into a corner - as will his braindead diehard supporters. Much mischief and mayhem could be ahead.

In February, 2009, Obama said that if he had not turned the economy around within 3 years, his would be a one-term proposition. Instead of turning the economy around, we got Obamacare, which is about to be ruled unconstitutional. The man wasted his time and ours, and our children’s money.

[Personal Responsibility]

As the days go by and this number gets worse for O, look for more polarizing, divisive, “us vs. them”, playing on guilt in search of votes memes to come up.

With Clinton it was triangulation. With Obama, it’s division. The politics of division are the only politics he knows.

[FreeAtlanta]

Our best defense seems to be having everyone expect it. It seems to be making it harder for the mischief. They really got burned with the Trayvon Martin and the Sandra Fluke attempts.

He’s been at -22 before many times. A week in the negative 20’s would be a more reliable indicator.

And Obama has gone over the Abyss Index line for the first time in quite a while.

The Abyss Index was created by a FReeper -- I'd give credit if I knew who. The Abyss Index is (Strongly Approve + Somewhat Approve) minus Strongly Disapprove. In other words, the difference between all "Approves" (Strongly and Somewhat), and Strongly Disapprove. As of today, a total of 44% of the polling sample at least somewhat approve of Obama's performance, while 45% strongly disapprove, giving an Abyss Index of -1%.

[C210N]

He’s been at -22 before many times...

Yes, indeed... he's even been at -26. However, I believe going from yesterday's -14 to -26 overnight is unprecedented.

[Baynative]

Over 40% of all voters in America believe in this man and what he is doing to the country. These are your neighbors, your co-workers, many of your local officials, the people who you pay to teach your children and the people you pay to entertain you.

[C210N]

Oops. Meant going from -14 to -22 overnight is unprecedented.

[SoFloFreeper]

Yeah, but Florida news is saying Obamugabe is winning.

[lacrew]

True...but I think his 45% strongly disapprove is a new record.

[LS]

Interesting. Obviously, when the Abyss or Strongly Dis gets to 50%, he’s officially toast.

[apillar]

I think Fast and Furious my finally be gaining some traction now that the liberal MSM is being forced to talk about it. All Obama had going for him at this point was the appearance that his administration had been relatively scandal free (mainly because the media refused to report any).

[ZULU]

Yes.

If you examine the overall statistics, his popularity was even lower before and he rebounded.

Its a long way till November, the Electorate is fickle, unforseen events may occur, Romney can stumble, Obama can pull some kind of “surprise”.

We have to keep fighting and never give up until the Election Results are in. Keep slugging away at Obama and his policies.

It would be a deadly mistake to become complacent. America cannot survive another four years of this Marxist Muslim Racist in office.

[FreeAtlanta]

It could be that Rasmussen make a mistake and left out some brainless Dumbie strongholds.

[MrB]

It’s a huge overnight plunge (-14 to -22)... and I don’t think the EP has had time to figure in...

A lot depends on what the supreme court does. At the moment Obama is still positive on the abyss index. He might be able to salvage things if he gets all his people to the polls and get the conservatives to form a circular firing squad.

However if the SCOTUS dumps Obamacare, especially if it dumps it completely, Obama will be in trouble. The unions took a big hit from the last ruling. If Obamacare goes down and the Arizona immigration law gets upheld Obama's people are going to go nuts. He won't be able to keep them from doing something stupid. And when they do it will unify the conservatives.

Finally there is the economy. The DJIA got hammered by 250 points yesterday, but it is still over 12,000. If it gets pushed below that then people are going to start feeling it in their 401K accounts. It changes the economy from a theoretical to a personal issue for the upper class urbanites that make up a good chunk of Obama's base. They don't care if the plebes are on food stamps, but if they start getting hit in the pocket book watch for them to bolt from Obama to Romney to get their greens fee money back.

[MrB]

Rev 12:12 comes to mind...

Between Nov 6 and Jan 20, this man is going to go “scorched earth” on America.
