The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 28% 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 -14.
The number who Strongly Disapprove of Obama’s performance has now topped 40% for seven straight days and his overall Approval Index rating has been in negative double digits every day for over a month.
The President this morning at a United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen at a time when a record number of Americans believe that global warming is caused by long-term planetary trends rather than human activity. Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters believe President Obama holds the opposite view and sees human activity as the primary cause of global warming.
