Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Wednesday, November 04, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that only 28% of the nation's voters Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just one point above the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).

Republicans continue to hold a modest advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

Barack Obama was elected President one year ago today and Rasmussen Reports has compiled a look at his numbers on that anniversary.

As projected by Rasmussen Reports polling, Republicans won the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. In the Garden State, our polling showed support for third party candidate Chris Daggett collapsing to eight percent (8%) while many other firms suggested he might win a higher total (up to 15%). In the end, only six percent (6%) voted for Daggett while Christie won by four percentage points.

It’s also worth noting that automated polling firms, like Rasmussen Reports, generally projected a Christie victory while operator-assisted firms showed a closer race or a Corzine win. According to pollster.com, the average of all automated polls showed Christie winning by four, a total that matched the actual result. The final operator-assisted polls averaged out to a one-point Corzine victory.

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, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

The number who blame Obama’s policies for the nation’s economic woes has grown to 45%, the highest level yet. However, 49% still blame George W. Bush. Confidence in the War on Terror has fallen to the lowest level in three years. Just 34% now believe the U.S. and its allies are winning, down from 62% earlier in the year.
