The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Approval Index for Friday shows that 38% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing as President. That’s the fourth straight day below the 40% level for the President. Prior to that, the number who Strongly Approved had never fallen below 40% for even a single day while Obama was President-elect or President (Premium Members can see details in Daily Snapshot).

Twenty-one percent (21%) of voters Strongly Disapprove to give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +18

Barry's popularity is definitely slipping. Voters are at last starting to see him for the fraud he is...congressional approval rating remains STINKO.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Uh oh, looks like Mr. Rasmussen may need a dose of “the closed fist” soon.

[Darkwolf377]

That’s what happens when you run as a phantom candidate, someone who is loved because he promises everything and details nothing.

Last nights partisan temper tantrum won’t improve this trend, far from it.

Nor will attacking former President Bush.

What we’ve seen this week is President Obama is still ‘running for President’ rather than realizing HE IS THE PRESIDENT.

[Allegra]

Yes, Barry's numbers were high before he took office. After he actually assumed the job, his numbers have been in a steady decline.

Before he was inaugurated, it was all about the rock star.

Now that the rock star is expected to fix our nation's woes as he promised to do, his proposed fixes aren't looking very well-informed.

People are waking up. It's a shame they didn't do so earlier - like before Election Day.

Looks like the nations voters are coming home to roost!...

Too late now. For the next four years{ If we are lucky} we are stuck with the person.
God must hate the USA>

What we’ve seen this week is President Obama is still ‘running for President’ rather than realizing HE IS THE PRESIDENT.

I hate to sound like I am praising President Clinton, but even though he was in constant "campaign mode" all through his first term, he did realize that he was the big dog and didn't have to "prove it" every time he opened his mouth.

Obama has a complete lack of confidence in himself as President, and it shows.

[Sopater]

Barry's popularity is definitely slipping.

That's because he's gone from "hope & change" to "fear & panic".

I know, this guy makes me miss Clinton and that is hard to say just as some people who are long time DEMs are now saying they wished they hadn’t voted for Ears, however, McCain who knows about him.

[Badeye]

Fair point.
