Overall the President's approval rating is continuing to sink; 32% of the American voters strongly approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent strongly disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8. According to Rasmussen, the Presidential Approval Index serves as a leading indicator by declining months before the President’s overall job approval ratings fell, which means Obama's overall approval rating will continue to plunge.
Following a quick bump from his healthcare speech, the POTUS' over all approval is back under 50% (at 48%).
After a week of revelations regarding the ACORN, who along with the SEIU do the President's grass roots bidding, there is little support for the criminal enterprise's continued involvement with the US Government:
- Fifty-one percent (51%) of U.S. voters now say Congress should end all federal funding of the controversial community organizing group ACORN.
- A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 17% favor continued taxpayer support of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now. Thirty-two percent (32%) are not sure.
- Among those who have been very closely following recent news stories about ACORN, which describes itself as “the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people,” 80% think all federal funding should be ended.
- Only 15% of voters now have even a somewhat favorable opinion of ACORN, while 67% have an unfavorable view of the group. Those figures include only three percent (3%) with a very favorable opinion and 47% with a very unfavorable view.
- Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans, 73% of voters not affiliated with either major political party, and 44% of Democrats have an unfavorable view of ACORN.
- Liberal voters are evenly divided—35% favorable and 38% unfavorable. Eighty-two percent (82%) of conservative voters give ACORN unfavorable marks along with 60% of political moderates.
Opposition to the plan has jumped 10 percentage points in one week and is now 3 percentage points higher than before Obamas prime time speech;
Date | Approve | Disapprove |
Sep 16-17 | 43% | 56% |
Sep 15-16 | 44% | 53% |
Sep 14-15 | 42% | 55% |
Sep 13-14 | 45% | 52% |
Sep 12-13 | 51% | 46% |
Sep 11-12 | 48% | 48% |
Sep 10-11 | 47% | 49% |
Sep 9-10 | 46% | 51% |
Sept 8-9 | 44% | 53% |
These numbers do not bode well for the President and his Democratic party controlled government. Although it is still very early, unless they start listening to America,in 2010, Nancy Pelosi might start crying for real.

Great news so far, I was worried after the post-speech bump that he was recovering. Nope, just static.
Americans do not trust him OR his policies.

Three New Rasmussen Polls: All BAD NEWS For Obama
But you repeat yourself.
The definition of "Rasmussen poll" is "bad poll for Obama." Rasmussen exists for no other purpose. Every other pollster -- including Fox/Opinion Dynamics -- shows Obama with an enduring base of significant (i.e., 50% plus) support.
Rasmussen is the outlier. Rasmussen is always the outlier. Why, you'd almost think Rasmussen is trying to be the most negative pollster about Obama and the Democrats....
