Tracking: 56 percent job approval for Obama

Rasmussen Reports is out with their daily tracking poll and finds that President Obama’s job approval is hovering at 56 percent, one point lower than what it was yesterday.

Rasmussen focuses its approval rating reporting on what they call an approval index; subtracting those that strongly disapprove from those that strong approve. According to their trend chart, that index has narrowed and for the past nine days has been in single digits.

Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen argued in the Wall Street Journal on Friday that Obama’s polling numbers are dropping and, essentially, his honeymoon is over. That idea has become regular talking point on the right, who are saying Obama remains personally popular but his policies are less so.

What do you think? The comment section awaits below.
