Rasmussen Poll: Obama tanks to lowest approval yet

Topics: Political News and commentaries

In Rasmussen's Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, Barack Obama has dropped to a 45% approval rating, tying the lowest mark of his term thus far, and has hit a new record on Rasmussen's "passion index":

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% 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 -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama.

And among Independents, the "passion" is markedly against him:

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove.

[...] Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That matches the lowest level of total approval yet measured for this president. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve as do 33% of unaffiliated voters. Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans disapprove.

And among all voters, 54% now disapprove. Not exactly the "hope and change" Obama has hoped for.
