What a shock. Obama’s approval rating sinks to all-time low.

And only 8% of unaffiliated voters strongly approve of Obama.
Rasmussen reported:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 19% 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 -23 (see trends).

At 19%, the number who Strongly Approve matches the lowest total yet recorded for this president. It has fallen that low only once before, on April 11 of this year. While 45% of Democrats Strongly Approve, just 4% of Republicans and 8% of unaffiliated voters share that enthusiasm.

Somebody better tip off Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

UPDATE: Obama has sunk to 36% approval rating in New York.

    Barry is making Carter look re-electable.

    Hell, he’s even making Nixon look good with the average Democrat.

    I would love to meet any of those who still rate him as strongly approve.

    We would find them on their stoops watching Jerry Springer on a 15″ B&W television with a long extension cord to it, yapping on their government provided cell phones and minutes, talking about the $100 sneakers they bought their kids for next school year and chewing on a box of pizza rolls paid for by food stamps while their mortgages or rent is being paid for by all their neighbors.

    Rasmussen’s presidential approval index had Barry at -24 on September 9, 2010. Still, the current -23 ties Barry’s second-lowest score, and the percent strongly approving is tied for his lowest ever.

    No matter how bad the poll numbers get, at least 45% of the population is behind the goof in charge. Not counting Illegal voters, rigged voting machines, multiple vote casters, and graveyard ballots.

    Actually, when one thinks about it, the Lame Duck Walking Puppet has had a approval rating of 0 from Conservatives since the election. The only thing that keeps polls above that level are the Obamabots, Zombies, Democans and Republicrats.

    Soetero’s approval index had never been below twenty for more than 2 consecutive polls until now. He has been below twenty for the last eight polls.

    I wonder how much longer before Impeachment proceedings. I keep saying this knowing he would never give up vacationing, pools, golf courses, in door theater, walking paths, top chefs other than Air force one, he could do all these things without being President.

    ooppss! He already is. With all the money he has he could do just about anything but this ego maniac will not like the ratings bother him. He has said he never looks a polls? Only when the are in his favor and these days I suppose he never looks at them…LOL

    I wish that Rasmussen would just go insane and start asking things like:

    “Would you rather have Obama or Biden?”
    “Would you rather have no President or Obama?”
    “Would you rather have Obama or Carter?”
    “Would you rather have Obama or Zombie Nixon?”

    /the popularity of Zombie Reagan is a given….

    The purpose of the new Super Congress is correct these polls by turning people’s ire away from Obama, and towards the Congress. It is designed to deadlock, and to fail. Then Obama can stand over them wagging his finger and looking like the adult in the room.

    His ratings with Liberals has to have slipped on these stories:

    The New York Times published a stupidly inaccurate hit piece on Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chairman of the House Government Operations and Reform Committee, and Pajamas caught it. The hit piece is just a reminder of the “Fast and Furious” Federal Fiasco.

    http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/08/15/new-york-times-hit-piece-on-issa-found-riddled-with-errors/

    Then there is also the politicizing of the DoJ.

    Liberals dislike prejudice, predetermined results, injustice and ineptitude. The ineptitude of this administration is staggering. It’s obvious that BO, and his entire administration is in over its head.

    The intensity of the opposition to this guy is really picking up. I’ve been hearing it left and right and from people I barely know. Used to be conservatives kept it to themselves, but Obama has successfully changed all of that.

    Headline at Drudge: “Obama not obsessed with keeping his job”

    Obama is not obsessed with DOING his job either. Unless he considers his job to be serving as an errand boy for the unions or to be grabbing as much free Wagyu beef and playing as many rounds of golf as he can.

    Historic.

    We’ve got to be able to put our differences aside and talk to each other, and the best way to achieve this is to make sure that we are all getting our information from the same source.

    I am really surprised it is that high. My democratic friends, admittely few in number for reason of personality conflicts, are very anti-Obama. They are claiming that he is not primaried they will vote Republican this time.

    I do not underestimate a snake like Obama to take away our right to vote. Heck, the unions and democrats have been doing it for the past 3.5 years. So, he will only win by cheating and theft of millions of votes and not counting the military ballots again.

    For 2012, we need an organized push to make sure our military gets their votes counted. It matters what they think. And they think Obama sucks. :)

    Nope. I check Rasmussen every day. obastard’s lowest was -24. It’s good to see him back in that territory. It’s the overall trend line that is meaningful.

    Not so. His all-time low was -24 on September 9, 2009
