It’s Historic! Obama’s Disapproval Rating at 58 Percent!
Since Rasmussen runs on a 3-day rolling average, I would have to say that Obama did not get the boost he was hoping for with his “Oil-slide chat” the other day.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Friday, June 18, 2010 – Rasmussen Reports
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 (see trends).
These results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, more than two-thirds of the interviews for today’s update were conducted after the president’s speech to the nation. Tomorrow’s update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted after the speech.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-eight percent (58%) now disapprove.

I have no clue, but the bigger question is why you are out so late? Get your teeth brushed, and get to bed. There is a lot of work to do Saturday!

According to Gallup, it was Harry Truman at 22 percent approval.
