B'Oz: Three Straight Days at or Below -20 Approval Index

Barack and his Obamaphate (my word for his hapless Administration of corrupt cronies) have sunk to what appears to be two new lows. Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll now shows that Obama has scored a -20 or lower Approval Index for three consecutive days. The Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. By themselves, these numbers indicate a deep slip in confidence in Obama among those of us who are likely to vote come November 2.

What is perhaps more instructive of the public mood is that Obama has just hit a new overall deficit of general approval of his on the job performance.

From Rasmussen Reports:

Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-eight percent (58%) now disapprove. [That's a -17% overall approval rating]

Seventy-six percent (76%) of Democrats approve of the president’s performance. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans disapprove along with 72% of unaffiliated voters.

Obama Slips Again - Approval Index Now at Record -9

Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking poll for July 25th 2009 has BOTUS down to a -9 Index. This number is a new record low for Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9. (see trends).

The number who Strongly Disapprove of the President has increased slightly following the prime time press conference on Wednesday night. That figure—39%--is now at the highest level yet recorded. As a result, the overall Approval Index has fallen to the lowest level yet recorded for this President.
