I wrote here about President Obama’s steadily declining approval numbers. I posted a poll asking when his net positive number, as measured by Rasmussen Reports, would drop below 0. One of the options in the poll was by today, April 3rd. If you voted for that option you were close but no cigar!
Rasmussen reports that Obama’s net approval rating has dropped to it’s lowest level thus far +3, just barely above sea level.
Of interest in the poll this week is that for the first time in over a month there was a day, March 31st, where Obama’s net approval number moved back into positive double digit territory at +11. I’m guessing it was not coincidental that this was the same day that President Obama left the United States. I suspect many people, myself included, felt safer with him gone.
Also interesting this week is that after a couple of days of higher than recent ratings, Obama’s ratings are right back on the path to go below zero in the not too distant future. Again, I doubt it is any coincidence that the new low approval rating comes on the day when it is obvious that Obama is not staying in Europe but is planning to come back to the US.
If Obama really does pay attention to polling do you think we could find him a nice, lonely, isolated island far from the shores of the US to live on? It would help his approval rating!
Elba comes to mind….
It might be a possibility but I think he’s too tall!
