Scott Rasmussen, whose
Rasmussen Reports poll we favor at COTTonLINE, does a daily Presidential Tracking Poll which consists of subtracting the percentage of respondents who strongly disapprove of the President from the number of respondents who strongly approve. Today, Friday, June 5, 2009, this number has
fallen to zero for the first time in the Obama administration (34 - 34 = 0). Rasmussen says of today's findings:
That’s the highest level of strong disapproval and the lowest overall rating yet recorded.
To be fair to Obama, this number fluctuates and there have been higher ratings within the last few days. Go
here to see the historical data.
My guess: Obama making nice with the Arabs isn't popular with most Americans. The public seems to have the more realistic view of "the long war."
