Take your pick. If you prefer Gallup, they have him at a 58% approval rating, which is their lowest reading since Obama took office. Rasmussen does his Approval Index, which consists of taking the number of folks who strongly approve of the way the president is doing, and subtracting the number of people who strongly disapprove. Obama has never had a negative Approval Index rating . . . until today.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That’s the President’s lowest rating to date and the first time the Presidential Approval Index has fallen below zero for Obama.

How Obama thinks that taking over GM and Chrysler, nationalizing health care, and imposing a huge new energy tax will improve these numbers is beyond me. Then again, that conundrum is for his supporters to figure out, isn't it.
