Uh-oh … Barack-O's presidential approval index drops to single digits

According to Rasmussen’s most recent poll (Sunday March 1):

38% strongly approve of the job Obama is doing as President

29% strongly disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President

The difference (8 points) is what Rasmussen calls the Presidential Approval Index. (PAI)

For the first time, Obama’s overall PAI is down to single digits.

For reference, his PAI was +30 just after the inauguration.

57% of Republicans strongly disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President — that’s up 14 points since his budget was announced last Thursday.

Over 90% of African-Americans strongly approve of the job Obama is doing as President

Among non-African-Americans, 31% strongly approve, 33% strongly disapprove … giving Obama a PAI of minus 2 among non-African-Americans.

Ken’s Observation:

(1) Obama and his spokespeople say that neither the Dow nor opinionpolls   influence their decisions and actions.  The former has been evident for awhile.  We’ll see on the latter.

(2) I wish Rasmussen broke the data between taxpayers and non-taxpayers

    Obama’s ratings among the blacks will rebound because in my opinion, they are more ready to band together and rally and fight for a cause than other ethnic groups. Is it fair at all that we still measure opinions among ethnic groups? Does that really show us anything anymore? I’m really trying to avoid a sarcastic comment for effect here. Why can’t the pollsters start tallying the taxpayers and non-taxpayers’ opinions? I think the results of such a chart would go alot further to shaping interests with who’s doing the buying.
