RASMUSSEN: OBAMA AT A NEW LOW

Not much movement in the Strongly Disapprove category but a serious decline in the Strongly Approve area as a new low of 23% has been reached. For several months, the differential has been between SD numbers in the low 40's and SA numbers in the high 20's. The SD is at 42% but with the SA at 23%, it seems to indicate that some far left loonies are having a big problem with Obama's Afghanistan decision.

Not a huge deal. I have long insisted that the more powerful number is the Strongly Disapprove figure, which hasn't really changed. Though this latest poll is indicative of a loss in passionate support, it's more like left-wing pouting that won't really amount to much.

As further evidence of this, the Overall Approval / Disapproval numbers have not achieved new highs or lows. Again, when the Strongly Disapprove numbers start to climb, it will be a bigger issue.
