Despite what the “step and fetch it” media may continue to falsly reportt, President Barack Obama’s poll numbers are falling like a stone. The American public is slowing realizing that they do not like the direction that Obama wants to take the country. So don’t allow yourselves to be fooled by the TV networks, CNN and MSNBC who have lost all journalistic credibility by purposely failing to vet Obama during the presidential campaign. Thankfully, there are other forms of media like The Last Tradition where the truth will be reported.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 34% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-three percent (33%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1. Fifty-one percent (51%) give the President good or excellent marks for leadership.
For most of his five months in office, the President’s approval ratings have remained quite stable. However, that has not been the case over the past couple of weeks. Obama enjoyed a positive bounce in the polls following the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. His Approval Index numbers reached their highest level in two months.
Then, as the Sotomayor bounce faded, the President’s ratings slipped following the General Motors bankruptcy filing. Just 26% of Americans believe the GM bailout and takeover was a good idea and nearly as many support a boycott of GM products. It remains to be seen whether the dip in the President’s numbers is a temporary reaction to recent news or something more substantive.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve..
Overall, 53% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. That’s his lowest level of overall approval to date. Forty-seven percent (47%) now disapprove
