Rasmussen Reports does a daily presidential tracking poll. Rasmussen also computes a daily Presidential Approval Index by subtracting the percentage of respondents who Strongly Disapprove of the President's performance from the percentage of respondents who Strongly Approve. Currently 38% Strongly Approve and 32% Strongly Disapprove of Obama's performance. Obama's Approval Index is down to +6, his lowest since being elected.
Rasmussen reports an interesting factoid: 23% of voters now believe that government represents the will of the people. In other words, more than three quarters of the electorate either believes it does not, or are unsure.
I keep telling myself that since we survived four years of Jimmah Carter, we can survive four years of Barack Obama. What is unclear is how many of these disastrous presidential choices the ship of state can survive.
