Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 30% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7. Forty-five percent (45%) give the President good or excellent marks for leadership.

New Rasmussen Reports polling shows public support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low. Data released yesterday shows that 51% fear the federal government more than private insurance companies. Thirty-two percent (32%) favor a single-payer health care system for the U.S. while 57% are opposed.

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.

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of American adults say they are at least somewhat likely to get the swine flu vaccine if it becomes available.

It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama's numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That's because some of the President's most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote. Other factors are also important to consider when comparing Job Approval ratings from different polling firms.

Now that it's been almost 7 months, can we give the Pres his first report card yet? I think several here said to give him six months before saying anything.

The curve looks somewhat familiar. Where have I seen that before? Oh, that's right, looks like the approval curve of the Gipper.

Wake me when there's real, actual news to be had from the approval ratings.

trying to draw a parallel between those two is silly. different issues for each presidency, different personalities, and a different voter base, among just a few.

Let alone the two year gradual drop versus a 6 month one way trip to the basement.

Give or take the margin of error, the Gipper went from 60% to 50% in his first year in office and that's kind of the neighborhood where Obama can be found. Obama's numbers - much like those of the Gipper - will continue to drop until the economic recovery sets in - just as they did back then. There's nothing sensational to be had here. But you guys go ahead and crack one open to celebrate. Makes no difference to me.

Except for one thing, Reagan did it with tax cuts and Obama in on the verge of bankrupting the country. Would you be happy if your wife came home with a 40k credit card bill? Cuz thats what Obama did to our kids. If china quits buying our debt were totally screwed.

No need to bring up Bush, his spending didnt help either.

There's little dissent on the fact that this economy wasn't going to be rescued with tax cuts. Different situations require different approaches. Rather than bankrupting the country, the administration has effectively worked to prevent the financial markets from collapsing and has pulled the economy back from a deep cliff that we would otherwise have fallen off of. As the economy recovers - and it is becoming clear that this is about to happen - the deficits need to be addressed. I am fairly confident that this will happen.
