Rasmussen Poll: Worst Day Ever for Obama’s Presidential Approval Index Numbers… Minus 21 and Overall 56% Disapproval
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on March 10, 2010
Minus 21, not looking good for POTUS, but this graph doesn't tell the whole story | Rasmussen presidential approval index, March 10, 2010
I caught this short article on American Thinker, and while Obama had what appeared at a glance to be equally dismal numbers on February 27, once all the decimal points are rounded and every figure reviewed, it’s true — today IS Obama’s worst approval index day in the Rasmussen Reports polls.
Worst EVAH.
Here’s a portion of the ongoing POTUS approval Rasmussen trends recap, with the numbers from February 27 through today, on the approval/disapproval of Pres. Obama (click image to enlarge) — I’ve circled in red the numbers from today’s disapproval and those from February 27. Today and on February 27, he had a negative 21. However, today’s numbers show a jump from a grand total disapproval of 55% to a record 56%:

Could it be that dead horse of a horrible health care bill that Dear Leader keeps beating to cross some fictional finish line that is making his approval index among American voters drop more than it has ever dropped?
Or is it his ineptitude on understanding how the free market works? Or is it his coddling of Islamic jihadists?
Or is it the denial of AGW data corruption and compromised results on that despicable global warming sham (plus record snow and cold throughout most of the world)?
Or is it his obsession with golfing and holding rallies at liberal colleges (love that applause!) and jetting around every week on Air Force One instead of actually leading?
Rhetorical questions…
From American Thinker: Obama’s worst day ever on Rasmussen:
The relentless push for ObamaCare is driving down President Obama’s net disapproval rating to its worst performance ever. The Rasmussen Daily tracking poll, which is based on an automated telephone poll of likely voters, making it one of if not the most reliable poll. From today’s Rasmussen report:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 22% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.
Also from Rasmussen… Fifty-seven percent (57%) of American voters believe that passage of the proposed health care legislation will hurt the economy. Just 25% believe it will help.
Obama's approval index numbers are at their lowest, per today's Rasmussen polls

About the author
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
When you are in quicksand, stop flailing.
I for one am sick of hearing and seeing him all the time.
I have gotten to the point of detesting the sound of his voice.
But we must stay on point, and target any effort to undermine our Constitution, and the principles that built this country.
Once the structure has been eroded, it may take years to rebuild it.
We owe it to the next generation to stop the erosion.
The determination of this congress and administration to pass this socialistic abomination of a health care takeover, should be at least met on an equal level by the determination of the American People to show the pseudo representatives we hired that we are still the boss !
Enough is enough.
No more elitism. We are sick of it, and you are only fooling the ignorant.
These people are disgusting.
Somebody turn the light on, and make them go away.
