We have our sirst batch of approval numbers since the press conference that went horribly wrong, and they ain’t pretty.
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 …
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.
Those numbers look familiar…when was it I saw a POTUS with those kind of numbers? All kidding aside, I think the whole “he’ll govern from the center” meme is officially dead. Better late than never I suppose, although it’s not like that wasn’t info anyone could have found out before they pulled the lever for this jackass.
You know, if Obama was smart he’d back off from this whole healthcare thing for a minute…
