OBAMA AT NEW LOW IN APPROVAL INDEX

The month of July has been particularly bad for Obama when it comes to Rasmussen's Presidential Approval Index (he's been in negative territory consistently). Now he has a new low as 39% of the country Strongly DISAPPROVES of his performance. Only 30% Strongly APPROVE of his performance, which equates to -9 on the index (also a new low).

Rasmussen is reporting that the July 22nd press conference in which Obama said Cambridge police "acted stupidly" seems to have played a role in the drop.

In addition to nearly 40% of Americans strongly disapproving of Obama's performance, his overall approval rating is below 50% for the second day in a row.

We all know that Obama is prone to throwing people under the bus. Maybe he should stop it and ask a few to step off and tighten the lugnuts.
