Barack Obama’s Approval Lowest Ever Today… Merry Christmas, Mr. President
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on December 22, 2009
MINUS 21.
I’ll say it again.
MINUS 21.
Merry Christmas, Mr. President.
Negative 21... lowest approval rating ever for Pres. Barack Obama | December 22, 2009
From Rasmussen Reports for December 22, 2009:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-three percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.
Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.
For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.
Take your pick as to why Obama’s approval rating index is dropping faster than a brick into the well of despair… “hope and change,” the rancid gift of Team Obama that keeps on giving, and it isn’t just the stench of ObamaCare bribes that are turning voters off, either:
- Record unemployment

About the author
An addition to your list:
A refunding of ACORN buried within the Senate Health Care bill debacle.
The above came from Michelle Bachmann on Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning.
What really gets me is listening to the soft voice of the ex-boxer Harry Reid implore the American people to accept the draconian mandates contained within both the house bill and the senate bill. Harry should have taken a few more head shots, maybe we wouldn’t have been burdened with this imbecile.
ACORN is going to be a major factor in 2010, again.
The main thing we have going for us is our eyes and ears are wide open, and we know what is happening to our country.
Mandates are un-Constitutional and your readers know it.
The constituents should continue to beat them down with conservative principals and our yearn for our liberties to continue when the parasites come home to roost in their home districts.
Regulating bonus’s within corporations, then allowing the congress to extort billions of dollars from the American taxpayer is at the very least hypocritical.
Let Freedom Ring !
I say fire them all !
On another note; Sarah Palin’s extremely successful book tour must be causing the left to go ballistic.
Merry Christmas Sarah ! YOU EARNED IT.
Great list – but WAIT! There IS more!!!!
I want to add Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Saul Alinsky & the NEA corruption to it. And that Buffy Wickes(sp?) chick too.
Does head Chicago thug Rahm Emanuel count?
