Obama’s Approval Ratings Falling
The latest Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll shows Americans are waking up to the fact that President Obama is leading us down the road to ruin. Though the MSM still showers him with praises and makes every effort to cast him in a good light, his numbers are slipping. Today’s numbers have 34% strongly approving of the President’s performance and 34% strongly disapproving. These numbers are a far cry from the 44% to 16% margin he enjoyed the day he took office.
Mike’s America has a great post on this where he digs a little deeper and has some issue-specific numbers as well. I went ahead and plotted the data in Excel and did the math to find the trend lines to compare. These first two graphs are just plots of raw data from Rasmussen. The first compares those who strongly approve vs. those who strongly disapprove for the first 136* days of Obama’s presidency. The second compares all who approve, not necessarily stronger, vs. all who disapprove over the same period.
I did a regression to find the line that best estimates the data in the two graphs above and plotted these trend lines in the next two graphs.
It’s obvious from the graphs that, if the trends continue, Obama won’t long be enjoying the approval of a majority of Americans. In fact, around his 228th day, those who approve and those who disapprove of the President’s performance will each make up 50% of the US population unless he can turn things around. That should be somewhere in the neighborhood of Labor Day. We’ll keep an eye on Rasmussen’s poll to see what happens.
If he doesn’t put the brakes on this downward plunge in his approval ratings, we can infer the President misjudged the American people’s willingness to accept his Socialist change.

*Though this data covers the first 136 days of the Obama presidency, only 135 data points are present because polling was not conducted on Mother’s Day.

I came to the realization of the meaning of taking state bailout money and got mad, then very depressed. Barry O is a much smarter man than I thought.

I’m still at the mad stage, not yet depressed, as I’m encouraged by the groundswell of conservative activists responding to BHO’s “change.”
You’re correct, he is smart, but I consider him more devious than anything.
