Obama: Voters More Polarized

Yesterday we reported the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index stood at -7, today it is at -8. However, more people strongly approve than did yesterday (30% vs. 29%). So how did the Index get worse? Because even more people strongly disapprove (38% vs. 36%). And the overall figures are 'underwater' as well:

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Today marks the first time his overall approval rating has ever fallen below 50% among Likely Voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.
