No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The honeymoon with the voters that care is now over

Rasmussen Reports just released today’s edition of the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, and President Obama’s Presidential Approval Index is now -2 (for those that missed the “-” in front of the “2”, allow me to restate it – minus two). While 32% of the 500-likely-voters-per-night/3-night-rolling-average strongly approve of the way that Obama is performing his Presidential duties, 34% strongly disapprove of the way Obama is performing his Presidential duties.

I guess Shoebox was just short of 2 months off on cutting off the poll date. Oh well, I guess the warranty on the teleprompter just expired.

Of course, the news isn’t all bad for Obama. His overall approval rating is still 53%, though that is tied for the lowest approval rating so far, while his overall disapproval rating is 46%, just off the highest disapproval rating so far. So, why did I word the title the way I did if all of the above are “likely” voters? Simple; those with strong feelings one way or the other are more likely to act on them than those who care less, especially when it appears that Rasmussen is doing everything it can to eliminate the “don’t knows/don’t cares”.
