Rasmussen: Obama’s Approval Numbers Tanking … Even Further
The new Rasmussen Approval Number is -14%:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 26% 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 -14. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
Over the past month, the number who Strongly Approve of the President’s performance has generally stayed between 27% and 30% (with one exception in each direction). Today’s drop to 26% matches the lowest level of strong approval yet recorded.
The number who Strongly Disapprove has stayed between 37% and 41% every day for over a month. The only previous time that Obama’s Approval Index rating was this low came on August 23. It remains to be seen whether the current low is just statistical noise or if it is something more lasting.
I wonder if they’ll go to what they did with Clinton, a job approval rating, and a personal approval rating. Of course, they’ll do it for the opposite reason, but oh well.
You know they will.
But, speaking of Slick Willy, remember what he said back in the day:
“It’s the economy, stupid”
