Time to jump off the bandwagon, if you're still holding on.

The bandwagon seems to be picking up speed, and it's going in the wrong direction.

Obama net approval slips to negative for first time (updated)
Richard Baehr
The Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll slips into negative net approval territory for President Obama on Father's Day, 2009.

32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2.

Then again, CBS Sunday Morning show just had a fawning ten minute interview conducted by Harry Smith of the first father. The ABC prime time special on health care is coming up.

Rosslyn Smith adds:

Overall, 53% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of Obama's performance. This ties a prior low.

Gene Schwimmer writes:

Need I mention that, barely six months into his presidency, Obama is only four points away from below 50% apprival?

Note that Obama's previous low was zero and, the day before, was +1 - so he went, in one day, directly from +1 to -2 without stopping at zero or -1. Which would mean that the yesterday's poll (the third day of Rasmussen's three-day rolling average) must have been very bad.

Obama has a pattern of splashy media events driving a recovery, each time hisapproval drops. ABC's White House Telethon to the rescue. But if, after the American people have had an all day explanation-cum-promotion of his plan, he is in deep doo-doo.

and this is a heavily democrat tilted poll,

. "Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 40.1% Democrats, 33.1% Republicans, and 26.7% unaffiliated."

We need to just keep giving all the dems and libs more rope. Once history repeats itself and the dems wreck everything the conservatives we'll get elected and back to deregulation etc.

Some of this is going to be difficult to back off.

They haven't yet, but if they give the FED total regulatory control of banks and business, that will be a tough one.

What I find interesting is that Obama is at the same approval rating as Bush was at this point in his Presidency, despite the fawning media.

Some religious sites have been having a poll and he's been running at 82 -84 percent disapproval rate for several months now and that was with 5000 plus votes cast. Of course that isn't a majority by any means but I think the MSM polls are rigged.
