Dissaproval rating starting to catch up

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 35% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-one percent (31%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +4.

Obama has been on the job for two full months and a review of the numbers shows a significant increase in the number of Americans who believe government spending will rise during the Obama years. Additionally, 50% now worry that the government will do too much rather than too little in dealing with the economic crisis. That’s up seven-percentage points over the past month.

Overall, 55% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. That’s his lowest overall rating to date. Forty-three percent (43%) disapprove.
