POLL: NEW LOW FOR OBAMA ON APPROVAL INDEX

I haven't posted Rasmussen's daily presidential approval index for some time because there hasn't been any drastic changes or new high / low water marks since July. However, that changed today. Obama has reached a new low in the approval index category with a -15 meaning 42% of those polled strongly DISAPPROVE of his performance while only 27% strongly APPROVE.



In addition to the passion index, Obama has matched his lowest overall approval. RASMUSSEN shows him at 54% disapproval and a new low of 45% approval.

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.
