As we move closer to becoming the USSA – Obama’s poll numbers hit record lows

As America moves one step closers to resembling Venezuela more than America, Obama’s poll numbers have tied their worst numbers on all of Rasmussen’s measuring indexes. The PAI now stands at -21 which is the lowest ever achieved. Obama’s overall disapproval rating now stands at 56%, which is the highest level of disapproval achieved by the Marxist. Obama’s 43% approval is also now the lowest level of approval ever recorded for him.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).

Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. While some portions of the plan are popular, others are not. Most voters oppose the proposed Medicare savings and the taxes involved. As a result, most voters continue to oppose the legislation. Just 20% of voters believe that most Members of Congress will understand the proposed health care bill before they vote on it. From a political perspective, 50% are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.

With the House vote expected tomorrow (Sunday), Rasmussen Reports will release our latest tracking of support for the health care legislation tomorrow morning rather than waiting until Monday. Thirty-four percent (34%) now say health care reform is the goal the President is most likely to achieve. Voters still say deficit reduction is the most important and the least likely to be achieved.

On Monday, Rasmussen Reports will begin rolling out new features for measuring the performance of the President and other politicians. Also, next week, we will launch new features that will help track information on a state by state basis. The latest polling data can always be found on the Rasmussen Reports home page, updated with new data at least six times daily.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 43% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That also matches the lowest level yet recorded for this President. Fifty-six percent (56%) disapprove.
