New Low… Obama's Approval Index Drops to -15
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 5:51 AM
President Obama’s approval index has slid 35 points since January.
Rasmussen reported:
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).
Obama ties Bill Clinton in the November presidential rankings.

If he doesn’t care, the Congress will. The democrats won’t be able to use him to be reelected…

Narcissism. He still believes he has improved everything.
BackwardsBoy commented:
This comes as no surprise to those of us who have witnessed the disasterous decisions of this administration. America’s experiment with Marxism is coming to a deservedly swift end. 2010 will mark the beginning of a renewal of America, where politicians who are unresponsive to the will of the people find themselve replaced by those of good conscience and a servant’s heart, ready and eager to reinstall the principles of freedom and liberty.
Robert commented:
There is another humber there that could be even more telling. The -15% is the Strongly Approve – Strongly Disapprove result.
The Total Approve – Total Disapprove result is at -9%. This is the lowest number rating for this classification also. It is also the closest by percentage to the “Strongly” result than has been reported in the past, almost 2/3 of the latter. This seems to show that a higher percentage of the approvals-disapprovals are also in the “Strongly” category.
Also, unless I missed something, the Total Approval – Total Disapproval individual results are respectively the lowest and highest to date.
Dell commented:
Finally, the numbers are settling into the cellar, where I suspected they’d land all along. 27% represents the entire far left wing of the Democrat Party. They’d “strongly approve” if Obama nuked Texas!
The numbers to watch are those attributed to Independents….and the fraud HAS to be a bit concerned, at this point, only a year into his only stint as president.
Gary Gross commented:
I wrote here that Democrats must be privately worried that independents are consistently breaking against them, whether it’s at the local, state or federal level.
I’ve heard the rumor that the most popular man at DNC HQ is the Maalox delivery guy.
T. Shaw commented:
They are all racists! That is: the ones that strongly approve.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
I love that you put the jOker image on the chart. I hope a major news outlet screws up and prints the chart with the image still there.
non_dhimmie commented:
His plans have nothing to do with the welfare of the United States or its people.
He stated over and over in his campaign, and proven in his voting record, but we are populated by morons…that still want to think he cares.
Ohio Granny commented:
Something is very wrong here. I’ve been watching this exact graph/index for months now and Obama started in the very high 60+% approval. This Index shows him starting at around 40% and declining.
Although I am not a fan of Mr. O, and have long wondered what on earth the rest of the country was thinking, I find this to be oddly troubling that the graph is so out of sync with my memory.
As much as it boggles my mind that any one would or could believe this administration isn’t dumping our free markets down the toilet, I actually know people who defend the guy. White guilt? Perhaps we don’t want the first black president to be a major F up. It grates on us.
But I checked, and yes, Rasmussen has the identical Index on his page, so it must be me, or not…… ?
Bill Mitchell commented:
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office. Can you just imagine the hand-wringing that is going on?
I am sure that these people despise the Glenn Beck’s of the world with a white hot hatred.
non_dhimmie commented:
No mammogram for you white man.
Aitch748 commented:
Ohio Granny — The chart is showing “strong approval” numbers, not overall approval numbers, so maybe you’re remembering the overall approval numbers.
Sojourner commented:
More Obama by the Number… mmm’,mmm,mmm.
**8-max unemployment Obama predicted if the STIMULUSSSSSS package was approved.
**17.5- current rate of under-employment that some experts believe makes real unemployment rate 22%

**$18,000,000- Current taxpayer bill run up by White House in redesigning recovery.gov. website to “protect us” from wasteful Stimulussssss spending.
**$1,400,000,000,000- the size of Obama’s current budget deficit.. triples last year’s and charges every American man, woman and child $4,666 for first year’s hoax and change agenda.

Old One commented:
Chairman Zero like all communists do not care about popular support. There will be no real elections in 2010 or 2012. Holder, ACORN, and the media will see to it that there will be no elections.
Ohio Granny commented:
Thanks Aitch748. I am relieved to know my memory isn’t that far gone.

Ditto.. the hopey-changey turkey’s stuffed.
chris commented:
“Obama doesn’t care what anybody else thinks.”
So when Bush’s approval ratings were going down the toilet it was because he didn’t care what anyone else thought? Thought so.
Chisum commented:
chris, you really are simple.
Sandy commented:
One would think that the Dem lemmings would figure out that attaching themselves to Obama and his toxic agenda could be bad for their reelection.
Sandy commented:
Narcissism. He still believes he has improved everything. Seven
Obama has taught us how a President bows to other World Leaders. I never thought that the most powerful nation on earth would have a leader who feels the need to bow and scrape before the rest of the world. As someone who loves this country for its exceptionalism it makes my gut ache.
