Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for this president (see trends).

Enthusiasm for the president among Democrats, which bounced following passage of the health care law, has faded again. Just 48% of those in the president’s party now Strongly Approve of Obama’s performance. That’s down from 65% earlier.

Among men, 20% Strongly Approve and 50% Strongly Disapprove. Among women, those numbers are 27% and 40% (see other recent demographic highlights).

Same day:

May 26 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s national approval rating rose to 48 percent in May, and for the first time this year more Americans approve of the job he is doing than disapprove, according to a survey by Quinnipiac University.

The percentage of Americans who approve Obama’s overall job performance rose 4 percentage points from the level in an April poll; the proportion who disapprove fell to 43 percent in May from 46 percent a month earlier.
--
Obama nonetheless gets better marks than congressional Republicans on the economy, with 45 percent of Americans saying they trust Obama to handle the economy versus 36 percent who trust his political opponents.

Less than six months before November’s elections, 42 percent of Americans say they would vote for a Democratic congressional candidate compared with 36 percent who would support a Republican, the poll showed. In March, voters favored a generic Republican by 44 to 39 percent.

So Rasmussen is usually a lower than the other polls... but it looks like BO is at an all time low.
I don't really give much credit to specific poll #'s anyway - but rather the direction & trends that it indicates.

He is officially unelectable now. (Hate to say I told you so....)

Of course nobody likes Obadman. He's a marxist, the economy is screwed up because of him, his support of offshore drilling mucked up the Gulf, and he wasn't even born in this country! Oh yeah, and he's black.
