Historic: Obama Hits Lowest Rating Ever in Rasmussen Poll

He's now at -24 and plummeting.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 20% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -24.

That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for President Obama, a level previously reached just once last September. By way of comparison, President Bush had ratings near the end of his second term in the minus 30s. For President Obama, 42% of Democrats Strongly Approve while 79% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 13% Strongly Approve and 44% Strongly Disapprove.

So he's at -31 among independents.

Truly horrific.
