The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.
Forty percent (40%) say the President is a good or excellent leader while 41% rate his leadership skills as poor. Republicans say his style is too confrontational while Democrats say it’s about right.
Forty-four percent (44%) rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent and are divided on the importance of passing reform this year.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.
Data for these updates is collected via nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. Today is the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the summit. Since the morning of the summit, there has been little change in the President’s ratings.
Senator Barbara Mikulski from Maryland is in good shape for her re-election bid. The Maryland Governor’s race is more competitive.
