Rasmussen: Obama Index Lower

The Rasmussen Report does a daily Presidential Tracking Poll. The most recent poll shows, as did the last one on which we commented, that 29% Strongly Approve of Obama's actions. The most recent poll shows 36% Strongly Disapprove, this is higher than our last visit. From these scores Rasmussen calculates the Presidential Approval Index (29 - 36 = -7) which stands at -7. Last time we checked, the Index stood at -6.

Rasmussen also reports that only 31% of those polled think the U.S. is headed in the right direction. This starts to feel like a one-term presidency.
