Approval ratings for President Obama are not good in the latest Rasmussen poll. 49% approve and 50% disapprove. Rasmussen’s poll should be viewed as the leading indicator of reality (think election-day) since he polls likely voters.
Other polls, such as Gallup, CBS News, AP and others do not poll likely voters. Instead, they poll all adults, many of whom will not vote (especially in the upcoming 2010 mid term elections) and who tend to favor the Democratic Party. Nonetheless, all polls are in harmony showing a big drop in recent months for President Obama’s job approval.
The numbers to watch closely are the unaffiliated voters. By 63% to 37% these independent voters disapprove of the job President Obama is doing. These voters, who make up about 30% of the electorate nationally right now, will play a large roll in mid term congressional elections.
