I really didn’t expect it to get this bad:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.
That’s a one point improvement from yesterday when Obama’s Approval Index rating fell to the lowest level yet recorded. Prior to the past three days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office.
We’re heading towards GW Bush post-Katrina numbers here.
Now, is this a permanent trend? I’m not sure, but it doesn’t seem to be related to just how the economy is going. There hasn’t been any major bad economic news for a couple months now and lots of alleged good news – so what is driving Obama down isn’t “its the economy, stupid”, but something else.
It could be that the bloom is just off the rose – we know what we’ve got for President, and we don’t like it. He’s just been terrible – and the more he travels around and talks about himself, the worse it gets.
