Last Friday’s Rasmussen Report paints an interesting picture.
Disclaimer: yes, Rasmussen tends to lean right.
I’ve always been a proponent of the “top box effect” … i.e. focusing of folks who either strongly approve or strongly disapprove of a product … or a candidat.
Well, Rasmussen reports that President Obama’s “Presidential Approval Index” – the strongly approves minus the strongly disapproves – is now 23 points underwater.
And, the number of folks who strongly disapprove outnumber the total number who approve (strongly plus somewhat) … 45% to 44%
Those are what’s called statistically significant numbers !
