The folks at the White House must cringe every morning when they click on Rasmussen Reports’ daily presidential apprroval poll. Like today, for example:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% 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. That’s the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President and it gives Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -10.
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 also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That matches the lowest total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove.
But Republicans shouldn’t sit back on their fat haunches and feel too smug about Obama’s poll numbers. Because Rasmussen also reports that “If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again. Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress.”
All the heavy lifting so far has been accomplished by the tea baggers and the town hall protesters.
So this might be a good time for Republicans in government get their butts in gear instead of their mouths.

This is why I'm running for Congress--someone has to step up and start the fight to take back America for Americans!!
More people need to wake up to the hidden agenda here. The federal government should be scared of the people. The people should not be scared of the federal government. Accountability in 2010 and in 2012.
The Republicans are still the gang that couldnt shoot straight. The only reason things are going so wonderfully in their favor is because the Dems have so blatantly pushed their radical left agenda.
The Dems stand to loose lots of seats in the next two elections, but somehow I suspect the Republicans will still manage to screw it up by epic proportions.
Id be happy if they were all tossed and we started from scratch, let the new founders be 200 people picked at random from the phone book. It cant be any worse than what we have now.
OMG! Love Bluey
