It’s not just Scott Rasmussen, today Quinnipiac reported that Barack Obama’s approval rating has slid to 45% among registered voters dead and alive.
Via HotAir:
American voters are split 45 – 45 percent on whether Barack Obama’s first year in office is a success or failure and split 35 – 37 percent on whether the U.S. would be better off if John McCain had won the 2008 election, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released today. As he marks the first anniversary of his inauguration, President Obama’s approval has slipped slightly into an even 45 – 45 percent split for the first time. …
By a 47 – 40 percent margin, independent voters rate Obama’s first year in office as mainly a failure; 81 percent of Democrats say it’s a success and 75 percent of Republicans say it’s a failure. Men say failure 50 – 40 percent, while women say success 49 – 40 percent. White voters say failure 54 – 37 percent, while black voters say success 82 – 7 percent.
Obama already had the lowest approval of any president at this point in their administration. Now this. It looks like the blind hopey-changers are in for a bumpy ride in the months ahead.
In related news, the White House said their policies strengthened America this past year.
How, by tripling the deficit?

Bill Mitchell commented:
And WHY is the MSM taking their thumb off the scales and actually reporting Obama’s true Approval Rating?
Couple possibilities:
1) When Congress passes Obamacare, they can overweight their samples again with Democrats and show a “fake” surge in support.
2) Same story with the SOTU address.
3) No one likes being bulls**tted and maybe even the MSM is tired of the pooh Obama is shoveling.
Robert commented:
Cancel #3. The MSM is shoveling more than anyone else.

Wow, the education system is really failing as evidenced by the 45% that still approve of this disaster. Seriously?!!!
RedBeard commented:
6Kings hits one out of the park.
If we assume that only 20% or so of voters are actual leftists, how do we account for the additional support for Obama? Mass insanity? Willful ignorance? Sheer stupidity?
The support can’t come from people who are not deeply committed to the leftist agenda of trashing this republic, unless they are impaired in some manner.

I can’t believe obamas approval ratings are even this high. At this time in President George W. Bush’s presidency, President Bush’s approval rating was at 92 percent.

20% is the left. 12% blacks. 13% Idol watchers and college kids. But even the college kids are falling off.
