    Obama Approval Index rating of -15, lowest yet

    Tuesday, November 24, 2009


    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama (see trends).

    Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove (see other recent demographic highlights from the tracking poll).

    Forty-five percent (45%) want U.S. troops home from Afghanistan either right away or within a year.Forty-three percent (43%) are opposed to such a firm timetable.

    Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters worry that the federal government will do too much when it comes to reacting to the nation’s financial problems. That’s up seven points since President Obama took office.

    The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

    Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That matches the lowest level of total approval yet measured for this president. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve as do 33% of unaffiliated voters. Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans disapprove.

    Among all voters, 54% now disapprove.

    Support for the health care plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low of 38%. Sixty percent (60%) of voters believe passage of the bill will lead to higher health care costs.

    In Arizona, Democrat Terry Goddard leads incumbent Governor Jan Brewer by nine percentage points in an early look at that possible 2010 match-up. However, if Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the Republican nominee, he leads Goddard by twelve. Arpaio also leads the Republican Primary competition. The state of Arizona may also feature an interesting Senate primary as John McCain is in a toss-up with former Congressman J.D. Hayworth.

    Thank you for posting this Jean. I had planned on posting it myself and I did get this up on the ALIPAC Facebook page.

    At long last 45%! Now, let us get him under that percentage never to see it that high again!

    We don't have to do much to get it lowered. He's doing a good job of that all by his little old self.
