-13: Obama’s Approval Ratings Continue To Hit Record Lows

Rasmussen Reports:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just a point above the lowest level ever recorded for this President. It’s also the sixth straight day in negative double digits, matching the longest such streak (see trends).

Just 31% of voters believe that Congress has a good understanding of the health care proposal.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Republicans have a favorable opinion of their party’s national chairman, Michael Steele.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

The New Jersey Governor’s race remains a toss-up. Over the past week, both Jon Corzine and Chris Christie lost ground while support independent candidate Chris Daggett grew and so did the number of undecideds. Republicans hold a five-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot. In Illinois, the race for Barack Obama’s Senate seat is a toss-up.

Support for the health care plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats is down to 42%. Fifty-four percent (54%) are opposed.

It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama’s numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That’s because some of the President’s most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote.

    An old man once told me:
    “Buddy, if you’re in up to your neck, don’t open your mouth”
    Hey obama, mebbee you need to tattoo that on the inside of your eyelids. Or maybe not. Go ahead and sink faster than the Titanic.

    The Joker is playing a zero sum game with all of us. They used to say if an administration was in trouble…… to start a war or some other diversion.
    Well The Joker is looking for a fight. His administration doesn’t care about any of us never mind what the polls say. He’s trying to piss us off so one of us will do something stupid and he’ll declare a State of Emergency. The Joker has no plans on leaving the White House. If our elections are on the up and up in 2010, then that will be the only chance to get the progressives out of the legislature. If ACORN, The Black Panthers and The Unions screw with the election process then The Joker is here to stay.

      Then it will also be time to give Zero what he wants and take him, and the whole of the Democratic party, out. It can and will be done … State of Emergency be damned. He best have his storm-troopers mobilized pretty quick (which still won’t save him in the long run) because I see more law enforcement and military laying their arms down than picking them up to satisfy this s.o.b.’s ambitions. They are in trouble as evidenced by a lot of helter-skelter on their part. They are becoming more vulnerable that way and providing the perfect opportunity to take them on now … with EVERYTHING we’ve got. I agree that he has no intention of vacating the W.H., but vacate he will … one way or another.

      if I run into a NBPP (New Black Panther Party) member outside of my polling place (doubtful, I live in NH) I will inform him of my rights to vote, as well as my CCW permit. Then, i will stand along side of him, encouraging conservatives to come in and vote, as their rights are being protected by the 2nd amendment.

      Oh, those motherfuckers WILL LEAVE; peacefully or feet first!

    According to Rasmussen, The Lord Obambi’s “approval index” has been hovering between about 5 and 12 and his “approval rating” around 50% for about two to three months.

    At last, Our Supreme Leader’s approval index has broken to minus 13 and his approval rating has been at 47% for two days.

    It is good to see Our Lord and Savior’s His Most Marxist approval finally beginning to tank into the below 50% range, hopefully, for good.

    This guy is so dangerous.

  • vincenzo4

    He deserves every bit.

  • SC

    That’s something ACTIVE members can do in the coming election in November 2010. Actually provide security from the BP’s and ACORN and SEIU types.

  • Nikki

    the ratings will continue until BO takes it to the next level and starts to arrest or otherwise make dissenters disappear probably under anti-sedition claims … then the ratings will have the glide ratio of a rock, but it won’t really matter then, will it? at that point it would be game on. :twisted:

  • aboutTObegin

    doesn’t matter how low it gets….even if it goes to -30% approval he is still a KENYAN!

      :beer:

  • copperpeony

    He doesn’t care about approval ratings like a normal human being because he will do whatever it takes to destroy this country. Screw the ratings! He has Soros and all the salivating libs in Congress in his backpocket. AND no, he will not vacate the WH. All he does is denigrate and flip us the bird as he smiles and jokes on TV.

    I actually smell a state of emergency coming right before the 2010 elections, which means the elections can be called off. THATS what the plan will be.

    • Bobby E

      That will be the start of the war … if not before.

    • aboutTObegin

      I agree… its coming all together to easily for the communists. Those that do not defend the Constitution NOW are just as guilty!
