It looks like The Man is on his way down, at least in the daily tracking reports from Rasmussen. I wonder how much effect the Crap and Tax bill had on the way people are seeing Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 31% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-three percent (33%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That matches the lowest level yet recorded.

they're not accurate....so thats why you have to look at the poll of polls to get a accurate reading...

CNN/Opinion Research.. 6/26 - 6/28 1026 A 61 37 +24
Gallup ........................6/27 - 6/29 1547 A 60 32 +28
Rasmussen Reports...... 6/27 - 6/29 1500 LV 54 46 +8

of those 3, gallup is the only one that i trust....CNN is a little left and Rasmussen is a little right...Gallup is in the middle.

The "middle" is 57.5%. CNN is nowhere near that. Additionally, Gallup is more left leaning than CNN since the disapproval numbers are much smaller.

You believe that about Gallup but I don't choose to do so. When was the last date of the Gallup poll? When was the date of the passage of that Crap and Tax bill? Lets see what Gallup gets this week.

You are very right about the other two polls but the first in your list is more than just a little left leaning.

Come again. Rasmussen was the most accurate in the last 2 presidential elections. Those that you think are most accurate were in the bottom half of all polls in the last presidential election.

By the way I called this silliness. People trying to "prove" accuracy by the average. The outlier could be the most accurate. There is no way to "prove" accuracy. You can infer it from some objective measure like accuracy in presidential elections but you can't "prove" it.

Honestly, it doesn't matter much. Another day, another Rasmussen poll, another glimmer of (false) hope for the anti-Obama crowd, and another thread on City-Data that begins with a Republican crowing, "This is it! Obama is finished!"
