Polls Reveal Obama's Plummeting Approval Ratings
Support for Obama falls AGAIN for second time this week
as monumental decline in popularity continues

To say Barack Obama's honeymoon period with the American people
is over would be a gross understatement.
Figures from major pollsters confirm that the
president's approval rating is declining at an unprecedented
rate, and by the hour.
Rasmussen's
Daily Presidential tracking Poll today shows that
only 28% of the nation's voters strongly approve of the way
Obama is performing, down a further 2% from yesterday, with
40% strongly disapproving.
This gives the president an approval index rating
of -12, again down another point on yesterday's figures.
The Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index is calculated
by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number
who strongly approve.
The latest figures indicate that Obama's public
support has fallen by a whopping 41 index points since the beginning
of the year.
Rasmussen puts Obama's overall approval rating
at 46%. Yesterday it fell to 45%, the lowest yet recorded by
Rasmussen, representing a 20 point decline in just eight months.
Check the trends figures here.
Roughly translated this means that one in every
eight people that voted for Obama now disapprove of his performance.
But it gets worse for Obama according to Zogby,
whose latest poll has Obama's overall approval at just 42%.
Worse even than that for Obama is the fact that
Zogby's figures show approval for the president slipped by over
13 percent among Democrats, adding to a 6 point decline
from figures obtained in July.

While another poll, for CNN/Opinion
Research Corp., has Obama's approval rating at
53%, it still shows a decline of 23 points since he took office.
The poll indicates that support for Obama among political independents
has slipped dramatically.
According to Gallup,
Obama has hit a new low of 50%, down 19 points from the start
of his term.
What this all amounts to is that, regardless of
the specific numbers, the polling firms are showing a consistent
and steep decline in support for Obama.
Obama's approval demise now represents the third
fastest ever decline for a president since World War II, behind
only Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton.
Obama is also faring worse than George W. Bush
in an analogous period of his presidency.
