Obama Slips Some More

This is a quick update from the previous story two days ago in which we related to you that President Obama is underwater in the Rasmussen poll. Today, President Obama slipped even further.

President Obama’s Job Approval Rating:

Total Approve: 47%
Total Disapprove: 51%

President Obama has been mostly underwater in Rasmussen’s polls since late July. His lowest total approval number since July was 45%, which he hit on September 1.

It is also worth pointing out that his strong approval vs. strong disapproval numbers are in the low double digits at -11. 28% of voters strongly approve of the job President Obama is doing vs. 39% who strongly disapprove. In the span since late July, these numbers were as bad as -14 when 27% approved of President Obama’s job performance vs. 41% who disapproved on August 23.

With upside-down numbers after a meteoric start to his presidency, one has to wonder, when will President Obama’s advisors change their approach? What makes them think their popularity will improve by continuing to do the same thing, i.e. pursuing policies Americans do not support? Ditto for Speaker Pelosi.

We will analyze further in upcoming posts, but trust us, their numbers on a range of issues aren’t pretty. The GOP has a golden opportunity to seize the day.
