Obama hits a new record -21 PAI on Rasmussen

What’s that smell? Its Obama’s trust and approval with the American people burning down to the group. After claiming that somehow the Senate passage of health care bill will pump his ratings up to 60%, it seems it’s having the exact opposite effect. Today on Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll, Obama shattered his previous PAI record of -19 by hitting -21. Also, after hitting a record of 43% strong disapproval rating yesterday, Obama’s new record today flies past that coming in at a record high of 46% strongly disapproving.


The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).

Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.

For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.
