Default Rasmussen...Obama approval minus two

The latest Rasmussen Poll shows Obama at his lowest approval rate to date at minus two percent. At the same time the Congressional Generic Ballot finds that 40% say that if the election were today they would vote for the Republican candidate. 38% would vote for the Democrat.

I always check the Rasmussen Poll. They have called the last two presidential elections closer than any other poll. They have also never been accused of slanting polls to find the results they want. Last year an AP poll showed arroval for President Bush at 13%. That was out of line with ANY other poll. It was found that 70% of the people they polled identified themselves as Democrats.

The poll said 54% approved and 45% disapproved.

The approval rating and the personal approval rate are two different things.
To get the approval rating you take those that strongly approve with his policies and minus those that strongly disapprove.
What you're showing is 54% somewhat approve of the job he is doing. That is also down from 58% a few weeks ago.

To me it's simple; The more people see what he is doing, the lower his poll's will go.

upon that knowledge." Elder Dallon H. Oaks

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."

Well, the press is starting to turn on him, finally. I really would love to see him on Jeopardy. or at least see the results of the pre-screening test. I truly believe Obama is a great speaker, but has very little knowledge or book smarts, and skated through the system undetected. I keep thinking of the story of the Emperor Has No Clothes, and I really think this is a prime example .

Wonder if LDS.net could help in that regard or would it just be singing to the choir?
