Obama Approval Rating Continues to Sink

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. But forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. 

Overall, 44% 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. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove.

Majority would vote against Obama if elections held today; approval ratings drop another 14 points…

January 14, 2010

By Reid Wilson

 

A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the ’12 elections were held today, according to a new survey.

 

The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so.

 

Obama’s first year in office has been marked by an unemployment rate that surged to 10%, an increased commitment of troops to Afghanistan and a health care battle that has taken a serious political toll on the WH.

 

Obama’s approval rating is down to 47%, the poll showed, a 14-point drop since the April survey. 45% disapprove, up 17 points from April. Only 41% say they trust Obama more than Congressional GOPers, while 33% pick the GOP over the WH. That 8-point gap is down from a 21-point edge Obama sported as recently as Sept.

 

Just 34% say the country is moving in the right direction, down 13 points since April, and 55% say it is off on the wrong track, up 13 points over the same period.

Obama gives himself B+ for first 11 months in office, while unemployment continues to rise and his approval ratings continue to crash…

According to the latest Rasmussen Report poll, public discontent with Obama’s policies continues to grow, with only 24% of the nation’s voters saying they “strongly approve” of the way he is performing his role as President, while 42% of voters say they “strongly disapprove.”

When the word “strongly” is taken out of the poll question, a whopping 55% say they ”disapprove.” 

Only 44% of voters say they at least “somewhat approve” of the President’s performance.  According to Rasmussen, that’s the lowest level yet measured for this president.

Yet even as the unemployment rate continues to rise with nearly one in five Americans either out of work or underumployed, the U.S. dollar apparently in a long-term freefall, Obama proudly tells Oprah that he gives himself a “B+” grade for his first 11 months in office, and adds that if he can get his costly health care bill passed, he’ll raise that grade to an A-.   Ahh…the many benefits of a raging ego.

This clearly shows the growing disconnect between Obama and the average American, as he becomes further and further out of touch with voters.

In short, Americans are finally catching on to the fact that Obama’s policies, in reality, constitute an underlying agenda to radically transform America at its very core, no matter what the cost to the average American.

Obama gives himself B+ grade for first months in office

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama, in remarks aired late Sunday, awarded himself a B plus for his first 11 months in office, stressing in an interview with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey that there was still much to be done.

 

“A good solid B plus,” Obama said during an hour-long, intimate soft-focus ABC network Christmas at the White House special, when Winfrey asked what grade he would give himself.

 

Explaining why he wouldn’t give himself top marks, the president said his administration had “inherited the biggest set of challenges of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt” which they were still working on.

 

He had earned good points for helping to stabilize the economy, setting a path out of Iraq and restoring America’s international image, but the job was not yet finished.

 

“B plus because of the things that are undone. Health care is not yet signed. If I get health care passed, we tip into A minus,” Obama said, his hair visibly grayer than when he took office on January 20.
