40% NOW STRONGLY DISAPPROVE OF OBAMA'S PERFORMANCE

Here we go again. For the second day in a row, Obama sets a new high for himself with the percentage of people who strongly DISAPPROVE of his performance. The Daily Presidential Approval Index takes the number of people who strongly approve of Obama's performance and subtracts from it the percentage who strongly disapprove.

Translation? Negative numbers, unlike golf, are very bad for a president. Not only has Obama hit a 40% Strongly Disapprove number for the first time, he has now achieved a double digit index number for the first time as well (-11). Rasmussen has more information on it.

Rasmussen might consider starting a new index that measures the percentage of people who approve of Obama's performance at all vs. those who strongly DISAPPROVE.

Currently.....
THOSE WHO APPROVE: 49%
THOSE WHO STRONGLY DISAPPROVE: 40%

OUCH! Even that gap is closing in on him at a +9
