The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 34% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +2 (see trends).
Thirty-six percent (36%) of women Strongly Approve along with 31% of men. At the same time, 35% of men Strongly Disapprove. That view is shared by 29% of women (see other recent demographic highlights).
...
Overall, 54% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. That’s his lowest total approval rating to date. Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove. For more Presidential barometers, see Obama By the Numbers.
This isn't shocking in the least bit. Anyone who sees this as ZOMG~!~! PEOPLE HATE OBAMA has no idea what they're talking about when it comes to politics. Every President experiences high approval ratings at the beginning of their term. Every President loses those high ratings as the months pass. The ratings eventually average out. It's called the end of the honeymoon period. If you want to see whether people really dislike Obama or not, wait and see if the ratings keep slipping. Right now, it's impossible to tell.
