Daily Presidential Approval Index

I do believe that is a new low.

KC

Hi,

I signed up for the Rasmussen reports so I have not checked in on this thread for quite some time.  I too sent it out to many friends commenting that I felt it was a new low......but I agree we are not close to the bottom yet.  When he goes on vacation and there is not shots of him all over the TV his ratings actually go up.  When he came back from vacation they hung around -15 give or take, but once he got past he Iraq lies it dropped like a rock.

What I feel, and this is a guess, is they are having to really pile on the bullshit to keep their radical base together.  Every lie, upon lie is designed to keep the luantics together.  What appears to me is that the rest of the working public has caught on to the game so every time he opens up his mouth they turn his back on him.

Just once I would love to see him have a George Bush type press conference, they would eat him alive.

As I said in my report on 8/28 we must keep the pressure on.  I would STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU COPY THE RASMUSSEN REPORT AND SEND A COPY TO THE BULK OF YOUR MAILING LIST.  We have to continue to do as much of that as we can.  I found that by sending it to the liberals I know, unlike some other political stuff, not one of them responded because there is really not much they can say.  I may have converted another one last night when a person thanked me for a copy of my 8/28 report and then started asking questions which has not happened in the past. 

regards,
5412

It had dropped to -18 recently.



In other good news.

Election 2010: Illinois Senate
Illinois Senate: Kirk (R) 41%, Giannoulias (D) 37%, Jones (G) 9%

Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat Alexi Giannoulias remain locked in a tight race for the U.S. Senate, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Illinois.
 
With leaners added in, Kirk picks up 41% of the vote, while Giannoulias earns 37% support. Green Party candidate LeAlan Jones, included for the first time in a Rasmussen Reports survey of the race, earns nine percent (9%). Five percent (5%) prefer another candidate in the race, and another nine percent (9%) are undecided.
 
Two weeks ago, when leaners were included in the totals, Kirk and Giannoulias were tied at 45% apiece.  Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. From this point forward, Rasmussen Reports considers results with leaners the primary indicator of the race.

It looks like a new record.  Nearly 60% disapprove!  This is several days after the "impromptu" "they treat me like a dog" comment.  I wonder if it might be an anti-sympathy, "you're President of the United States, grow up, for Heaven's sake" slap from the electorate?

The real slap should come by relieving Reid and Pelosi of their power.

[Tess Anderson]

This stat seems highly volatile, but I bet you're right there, Duke - it's unpresidential to whine like a little bitch at the drop of a hat.

Even some of the Democrat talking heads have been critical of his "preformance" in Milwaukee.

Didn't stop him acting similarly in Cleveland, yesterday, though.

Obama says, "they treat me like a dog" ....Hell, I don't know about y'all but I should be so lucky as to be treated like a dog....or at least any dog I ever had....

Lay around and sleep mostly, free healthcare, fed and housed well, allowed to chase strange females....hey, that sounds like a democrat voters life.

-21 today.

Most Americans are willing to militarily defend just five other countries  -- Canada, Great Britain, Israel, Germany and Mexico. A majority oppose defending Iraq if it is attacked.

The Tea Party movement is not a flash in the pan,as many have assumed. Nor is it a movement of racist rednecks and ignorant boobs, as its detractors have crudely suggested. To the contrary, it is an authentic grassroots movement of concerned American citizens demanding to be heard by an out-of-touch political establishment. According to Rasmussen and Schoen, their concerns are real and their issues are legitimate--whether politicians and elite journalists like it or not.

The number of Republicans in the nation grew by two percentage points over the past month while the number of Democrats slipped a bit. As a result, the GOP has closed the partisan gap to the smallest margin in five years.

That quote should be repeated at the Repub convention in 012.

Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters currently believe that no matter how bad things are, Congress can always make it worse.

Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 47%, Democrats 38%

 Republican candidates now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, September 12, 2010.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of respondents say they would voter for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 38% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

Rasmussen

Almost ten points.  Ouch.

[Karin]

-19 today, with the range over the weekend at -16 to -18.   

[franksolich]

-13 today (Friday); the last surge before the slump.

New polling shows Republican Roy Blunt continues to hold a modest lead in Missouri. Overall, the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary shows Democrats with a 51-45 advantage in the Senate while four races are now Toss-Ups (Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, and Wisconsin). Republicans lead by ten percentage points on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

A plurality of voters are unsure as to whether or not the Social Security system is a Ponzi scheme.

Forty-three percent (43%) believe that free market capitalism is the world’s best anti-poverty program.  Most voters believe competition will protect borrowers more than regulation.

New polling data shows close races for Governor in Georgia, Minnesota, and Florida. The Rasmussen Reports Gubernatorial Scorecard  shows that Republicans are poised to pick up several Governors from Democrats throughout the Midwest including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. 

Fifty-five percent (55%) believe that most Congressional incumbents are re-elected because the election rules are rigged to help them.   Only 15% believe it’s because the legislators do a good job representing their constituents.

Just 22% of American adults believe that government programs reduce poverty.  Nearly twice as many believe such programs actually lead to an increase in poverty.

Back to -17 after a few days in the -13 and -14 range.

[DumbAss Tanker]

These little backyard barbecue events he's been on lately don't seem to be working out too well, an awful lot of supposedly-sympathetic audiences are hitting him up with questions that are profoundly and publicly embarassing. 

[Odin's Hand]

Back to -17 after a few days in the -13 and -14 range.

Pollsters must be hitting San Francisco and Chicago pretty hard.

Down to -18 today.

Yeah...and he's even having a time drawing enough crowd to fill the backyard.

I laughed when the Presidential seal fell off the podium in his latest address. If that isn't a sign, I don't know what is. Symbolic in oh so many ways.

-13 today, Thursday.

Most Americans believe the federal government has too much influence on the economy.

Yesterday, the West Virginia Senate race moved from Toss-Up to Leans Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary.    As a result, for the first time all year, the Balance of Power summary shows a dead-even race for control of the Senate. Currently, Rasmussen Reports projects that the Democrats will emerge from Election Day with 48 seats in the Senate and the GOP will hold 48. Four races are currently considered Toss-Ups (California, Illinois, Nevada, Washington).

The Rasmussen Reports Gubernatorial Scorecard projects the GOP will end up with 28 Governorships and the Democrats will hold 15. Seven are still in the Toss-Up category.

Didn't they find another "suicide" in Ft. Marcy park early this morning?
