After last week's State of the Union speech, President Obam got a bump in the polls. The Rasmussen daily poll actually found more people approving of Obama's job performance than disapproving for the first time in a while. the margin of approval was just one percent (50-49) but still it was a significant move from the depths where Obama's ratings had been. Now, however, that another few days have passed, Obama is back in the toilet so to speak. Today's polling results show that Obama's job performance is rated poor or fair by 55% while only 44% rate his work good or excellant. This ties for Obama's poorest ratings ever.
It is no surprise that the poll bounce disappeared so fast. After all, Obama prestended in the SOTU that he was becoming a deficit hawk and a promoter of jobs. It doesn't take long for a claim like that to be shown to be untrue. After that, people are even more discouraged with his performance. I predict that Obam will soon hit the 40% approval level.
