The polls that are coming out about Obama from the media like CNN, Gallup/USA Today, and AP are bogus. Once again, the media are trying to influence public opinion rather than report on it. To somewhat approve of Obama’s performance is not an endorsement. Look closely at how the media is asking the question. The question should be “do you approve or disapprove?”

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see trends).

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

Most voters continue to favor repeal of the health care law passed by Congress last year.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama. Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove.

Not only that, but overall 45% somewhat approve and 53% disapprove, which is tied as the lowest approval rating for Obama. The poll results also show the already obvious partisan divide. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve of Obama’s performance, and 83% of Republicans disapprove.

Probably the most telling number out of the whole poll is that only 33% of unaffiliated voters approve of how Obama is doing his job. It’s expected that Democrats approve of Obama and Republicans disapprove, but warning bells should start to go off for the White House when so few moderates support how the president is doing his job.

That being said, I have yet to figure out why Obama’s numbers have started dropping again. For the last couple months, his approval numbers have been holding steady. Now, all of the sudden, the fall has restarted. I don’t know what to attribute this sudden drop in public opinion to, but I can’t help but think the shrinking support for the Obama-supported health care legislation has something to do with it.
