I'm Meltiiiiiiiinnnnngggg....!

Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% 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 giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama.

Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That matches the lowest level of total approval yet measured for this president.

That's bad enough, but look at the 'passion' comparison:

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove.

Remember, it's the passion that wins elections.  When you only pull the strong approval of slightly more than half of your own party, you suck.  Obama truly is taking a risk of becoming a lame duck halfway through his first time in office.

On a related note, more and more Americans are saying they've had enough economic 'help' from the government:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 53% of voters worry that the federal government will do too much when it comes to reacting to the nation's financial problems. This marks a five-point increase from last month and is seven points higher than the week after President Obama took office.

That's probably because more people are seeing the government screws up everything it does!  Speaking of which, isn't it great to see how wonderfully in touch with The People our government is?

Some in the Obama administration and Congress are already talking about the need for a second economic stimulus plan in the face of rising unemployment even as 51% of voters say more jobs would be created if the remaining spending planned in the first economic stimulus plan was cancelled right away.

Here are some other interesting tidbits:

Voters continues to say that President Obama's top budget priority shold be cutting the federal deficit in half by the end of his first term in office. But they see it as the goal the president is least likely to achieve.

Even as Senate Democrats move forward with a health care reform plan, 68% of voters say passage of the legislation is likely to create larger deficits.

A one-term presidency is looking more and more likely.  The question remains whether or not we'll be able to recover from that one term.

But it's not just limited to Obama:

Republican candidates have extended their lead over Democrats to seven points, their biggest lead since early September, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

...
Voters not affiliated with either party continue to heavily favor Republicans, 44% to 20%.

24 points?!  I guess people are over the hope-n-change, huh?

There's my two cents.
