The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 34% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. That’s the President’s best Approval Index rating in over a month

His best number in a month. I wonder how the DC March will effect it in the coming days?
Rasmussen polls also include the clueless of America’s voters.
Obama’s speech appears to have reversed the trend. Unless this turns around again in the next few days Obamacare is a done deal.
We never see the daily poll internals. Without knowing who is being sampled what is the value of this poll?
Looks like his joint session of congress speech was a big flop.
He always gets a few points positive bounce after a primetime speech. It generally lasts about a week. This thing will not be a done deal in the next week.
He’s almost out there alone now, lying about healthcare and changing people’s opinions. It’s all I see on msm, how he’s turned this around.
I don’t know if conservative leaders got smug or what but it seems to me like they’ve dropped off the map on healthcare. This should be the only issue right now until it is defeated or it will be passed in a week by the opposition, the first chance they get. Our leaders need to be rehashing every fascist detail for the public, over and over again in every possible venue.
UGhhhh....
Doesn't this guy EVER just STFU?
This Obamaboarding is driving me nuts!! The man just LOVES to hear himself talk and talk and talk and talk..........
Obama will be on 60 Minutes tonight. Tomorrow, he will make a mid-day speech about how he “saved” the economy. By making countless media appearances, I suspect Obama plans creating as many bounces as possible.
Is this the average for Thursday, Friday and Saturday?
It is clear now that Obama got a good bump from his speech on Wednesday. That shows up in the Thursday, Friday and Saturday polling by Rasmussen. Since Rasmussen averages three days worth of data today's poll is the first we have seen that is all post-Obama-Speech. With any luck the tide should start to turn back in our direction in the next few days as the bump wears off.
A prime time presidential address before Congress with all the fanfare and a media tailwind behind him and all he nets is a slight improvement. Just wait until unemployment officially hits 10% (I know, I know...its really 16.8 according to BLS' U6).
>>Obama’s speech appears to have reversed the trend. <<
For a charlatan that is also a good speaker, speeches are like the branches you grab as you continue your fall off a cliff. That is, unless the words in your speeches are actually true.
Which is why, barring a Reichstag fire, Barry is toast.
Which is why he's apparently planning to do one a night for the rest of his term!
We can’t celebrate when Rassmusen shows Obama at -11 and demand to se intrnals when he’s at -4. Rassmusen has been the most reliable poll over the last 5-6 years. The speech helped the haloed one as did its fawning coverage. My guess is the March will do little because this morning, in the MSM, it’s as if it never happened. Given the complicity of the media it’s amazing Obama’s numbers are as bad as they are.
Exactly. A lot of those in transit to D.C. or other protests were not available to be polled.
Give it a week, he’ll be back down. He belongs much lower in the polls.
I still can’t get over the huge amount of gullibility there is out there..but with a compliant media, a good portion of the populace is still in the dark. But for ever protestor talks to two friends, they talk to two friends, etc. This true grass roots movement has come an extraordinary ways in 6 short months, imagine how many more will be on the correct side of the argument and against those currently in office buy next year...
Those are great charts.
Is that ZerOcare with or without the “public option”?
