From Rasmussen:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 19% of the nation’s voters 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 -20.
Today’s numbers reflect the lowest level of Strong Approval yet recorded for this president. There has been a sharp decline in enthusiasm among liberal voters…
Liberals don’t like it when their leaders cut spending, even a little bit. So, why agree to a cut? Very likely because polling also showed that a government shut down would be even more destructive of Obama/Democrat approval. We really do have them on the ropes – all we need do is keep pressing them on the spending issue, come up with some new ideas on how to attack and then just carry it on in to 2012.
