Rasmussen: Obama Hits New Low

Rasmussen Reports does a daily Presidential Tracking Poll, asking likely voters their opinion of the president. They compute a Presidential Approval Index which consists of subtracting the percentage who Strongly Disapprove from the percentage who Strongly Approve.

Today Rasmussen polls Strongly Approve 33% minus Strongly Disapprove 36% for a Presidential Approval Index of -3. Rasmussen summarizes today's findings thus:
Those figures reflect the highest level of strong disapproval measured to date and the lowest level recorded for the overall Approval Index.
The trend line for The Won continues downward. Perhaps Obama will find out what it feels like to have the low approval numbers George W. Bush had toward the end.
