The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8. The President’s Approval Index rating has fallen six points since release of a disappointing jobs report last week (see trends).
This is very encouraging because it is clear now that no matter how much Obama tries to erroneously pass the buck, people are going to expect results, and blame him when he fails to perform as promised. Remember, Obama said the stimulus would keep unemployment in check. It wouldn’t go above 8 percent, he claimed. Well, so much for that. He keeps talking up these bogus “jobs saved” figures which are completely meaningless and have no credibility.
At this rate, especially with the rampant spending that is only going to make the economy worse, Obama’s coattails won’t be worth dog excrement in the midterm elections, and Obama will have to prepare to move out of the White House in 2013… Not that someone so inexperienced should have been put there in the first place… After this horrible mistake, Americans may realize that the ability to read off a teleprompter hardly makes you ready and able for the highest office in the land. Sadly, we have to learn that the hard way.
