-8!!!

The downward trend has been astounding!

 

[Sarah G]

Rassmussen always shows the lowest of all President Obama's approval rating polls. Like here:

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

He's still looking good, a little fluctuation either way since January. Consistent, on track and in line with the American voter.

Rasmussen shows the lowest scores because Rasmussen polls only likely voters. Obama consistently scores the highest when the general public is polled, whether they are registered voters or not, lower among registered voters and lowest among likely voters. His disapproval scores are also lowest among the general public, higher among registered voters and highest among likely voters. The obvious conclusion is that the more likely the group polled is to vote, the smaller Obama's margin on approval is, but you are correct he isn't in trouble at this time, but among likely voters he is approaching a tipping point where some really bad news could quickly put him in trouble.

an uninformed populace would vote themselves into slavery, a wise man once said

 

[eagleseven]

That has always been the trouble with popularity...do you poll only likely voters, or do you poll everyone?

By polling only likely voters, you are polling the people most up on current events and politics.

By polling everyone, you are including people who don't know a thing about politics and make their judgments on vanity or a whim.

because its the most reliable
of course, you dont like how its going so your going to Ad Hom Rasmussen

 

[Big Black Dog]

If you poll only the Democrats, his popularity would be about 95%. If you poll just the Republicians his rating would be only about 5%. So, if you add the 95% and the 5% together you will get 100%. If you divide that by 2 (2 groups polled) you will come up with an average of 50%. So, according to the BBD Political Poll, Obama is right at 50% which translates as being a "Half-Assed" President.

Still, I've always wondered how they determine "likely" voters when the polling is automated.

By polling only likely voters, you are polling the people most up on current events and politics.

By polling everyone, you are including people who don't know a thing about politics and make their judgments on vanity or a whim.

Which is why there is always a 3-5% error factor included. Polling is a science, which is why national polling organizations (yes, including Rasmussen) steer clear of anything considered a "straw poll." Those tend to attract more yahoos than seriously concerned people.

LOL !! Looks like you're in the wrong business, Senator. Maybe Rasmussen is hiring.

RCP average had him at 62 percent a few months ago, so he HAS slipped a little bit.

Obama is at 55.8% RCP average. That is a significant slip for RCP.

Obama is becoming very vulnerable...

The repubs who voted for him don't like him anymore. We'll have to see what the indies do.

Except, of course, that finding people that identify themselves as Republicans is getting to be increasingly difficult.

same as it will get for democrats in a few years
LOL
i hope Obama made his stickers EXTRA sticky and hard to get off

 

[Oscar Wao]

No matter which major poll you look at, he's under 60.

So.

Going against Ras doesn't exactly help your argument.

 

[garyd]

He was seventy to eighty in January when he took office. The last time a president fell this far this fast he lost to an Arkansas governor.
