Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll … Obama has Negative Approval Rating for First Time

This is a rather interesting poll from the Rasmussen Report, President Barack Obama has a negative Approval Index for the first time. His Presidential Approval Index in the past has been as high as 30 points. Please note that the Rasmussen Approval Index is calculated by taking the percentage of strongly agree and subtracting the strongly disagree percentage.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That’s the President’s lowest rating to date and the first time the Presidential Approval Index has fallen below zero for Obama

See tracking trends.

What is most telling about this trend is that those that were once willing to give Barack Obama the benefit of the doubt now seem to have moved to a strongly disagree category. One can only presume it is because they have seen what Obama change really represents. This is hardly a good sign for Obama … no wonder he is looking to pass every socialist, big government plan thru at light speed.
