Diapproval of Obama continues to rise
I wish I could've covered all the details earlier, like the disapproval of Obama's health care plan and even his perfectly dreadful response to the Henry Louis Gates affair, but anyway, Rassmussen Reports that Obama's ratings are dropping below 50 percent (Hat tip: Hot Air):
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 29% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11. That’s the first time his ratings have reached double digits in negative territory [...]His biased response to the Henry Gates matter also resulted in disaster. Yes, already, less than a year after he became president, he's already tanking in the ratings.
These updates are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. Today is the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the President’s prime time televised press conference. The number who Strongly Approve of the President has remained unchanged since the press conference but the number who Strongly Disapprove has gone up by five percentage points (from 35% on Wednesday morning to 40% today). [...]
The President is now seen as politically liberal by 76%. That’s up six points from a month ago, 11 points since he was elected, and the highest total to date. Forty-eight percent (48%) now see him as Very Liberal, up 20 points since he was elected.
