Sunday’s Rasmussen tracking poll showed Pres. Obama’s Presidential Approval Index at zero … 32% strongly approved of the job he’s doing as president; 32% strongly disapprove – netting to a zero.
Things get more interesting when you dive down into the numbers. Previously, I posted that virtually all blacks strongly approve; he runs about a 10 point PAI deficit among whites; and he roughly breaks even with all others.
By income, low earners (under $20,000 per year) give him a plus 34 PAI; folks earning $60,000 (about where income taxes kick in these days) to $100,000 give him double digit negatives; he breaks even among the rest.
TakeAway: nation is increasingly split by taxpayers staus – if you don’t pay income taxes (or are so rich that it doesn’t matter). Obama’s likely to be your man.
