The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -10. Yesterday and today are the only time that Obama's Approval Index ratings have fallen to double digits in negative territory.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of his performance while 72% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve.

Obama is now seen as politically liberal by 76%. That's up six points from a month ago, 11 points since he was elected, and the highest total to date. Forty-eight percent (48%) now see him as Very Liberal, up 20 points since he was elected.

The President received generally poor grades for his response to a question about a Cambridge police incident involving a black Harvard professor. However, the results show a huge divide between black Americans and white Americans on all questions.

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove. It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama's numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That's because some of the President's most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote.

Eight percent (8%) of American adults now rate the economy as good or excellent. That's unchanged since the beginning of the year. Fifty-seven percent (57%) now say the economy is in poor shape. That's down from 64% when the year began.

While the President's ratings have slipped over the past month, 54% believe that
President George W. Bush is still primarily to blame for the nation's economic problems. Just 25% believe that the economic stimulus package has helped the economy.

Rasmussen Reports? lol "We give you the results you pay for" is their motto.
Come up with enough cash and Rasmussen will show a poll "proving" Obama is a terrorist and McCain will win by a landslide.
Wait hasn't he done that already

There's no limit to the nonsense a wingnut will believe just so long as they like the way it sounds. They'll ignore 20 polls just to get to the one that they like

His approval ratings will rise and fall as his presidency moves forward. Whats important is the legacy he leaves. If it's anything like Bush's, the USA is in trouble.

Whats important is the legacy he leaves

Last time I checked their vote didn't count, or did ACORN figure out a way to include them too?

Makes you wonder just what in the heck these people thought he was? A centrist? A fiscal conservative with liberal leanings on social issues? LMAO. He had the most liberal voting record in the Senate...and with Kennedy, Frank, Schumer, etc., that's a pretty impressive accomplishment.

I suppose better late, than never, though.

It's nothing to cheer or celebrate over. From where I sit, we are all losers unless there are some drastic changes in where our President is leading us.

I sleep so good at night when I see the representatives of big business "republicans" screaming, you know what it reminds me of ?

^^^^^^Well we are still waiting for that new life in the economy after using credit to pay off debt and our free health care, houses, TV and cars....But wait, someone might actually have to work for these, Oh no, but I thought we were going to get something for "free" Yeah whatever................. Lets see how many folks are currently without jobs..



How many businesses were hiring when they were given tax breaks? President Obama is way to concerned with the capitalist, I think he should declare an economic state of emergency and nationalize any business that laid off American workers while maintaining or increasing workers outside of the United States, We need to send a message to corporations that want to suck the life blood out of the American economy that it is over we will no longer tolerate their anti american ways

What are these things ^^^^^^




Abraham Lincoln was a republican who understood what it meant to be a republican both President Lincoln and President Obama are men of action who represent the American populace, he would change parties if he was a Republican today. President Lincoln was a brillant man who knew what would happen if corporations took over running our country as you can see from the quotes below




President Lincoln knew that he was a servant to the people and that he represented the will of the people not the will of the corporations, he would have the majority of todays republicans tried and executed for treason




To defame President Lincoln by suggesting that he would condone the treasoness behavior of the majority of todays republicans and some democrats should be a crime




President Obama will take back our country from these modern day carpetbaggers be they republican or democrat

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's
Tom Bevan - Real Clear Politics - August 6, 2009

A rather surprising finding from the newly released CNN poll. Question three on the national survey of 1,136 adults (which includes an oversample of African-Americans) asks, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?"

Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they believe the Obama administration is a "failure," while 51% consider it a "success" and 11% say it's still "too soon to tell."

An identical question was asked of the Bush administration in an August 2001 CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey. At the time, 56% said the Bush administration was a "success" while only 32% considered it a "failure."

From our vantage point north of the border, if you don't want him we'll trade you for him and give you one Prime Minister, the entire BLOC Party, and three premiers to be named later.

No deal, no disrespect to your Prime Minister but I think we have a winner in President Obama and he came along just in time

BTW :
Do you get paid by the letter or word? You've been busier than usual in the Presidental keester-smootching department today. If it pays well enough I might even sign on, but I won't pretend to speak for everybody, just those writing the check.

President's Obama's insight does make me wonder if he is not super human.

I have no trouble telling fact from fiction you just look for an R or D in front of a name and bingo it's clear as a bell.
