From Rasmussen: President Obama’s job approval ratings have taken a dive this week in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, and the number of voters who give him favorable ratings for leadership has fallen to its lowest level since he took office in January 2009.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 37% of Likely U.S. Voters now say the president is doing a good or excellent job as a leader. Forty percent (40%) rate his performance as poor. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Last month, right after the president’s State of the Union speech, 47% of voters viewed his leadership positively. At that time, the number who gave Obama poor marks (33%) fell to its lowest level since September 2009.
Twenty-seven percent (27%) now view the president's leadership style as too confrontational, while slightly more (29%) say it’s too cooperative. Thirty-one percent (31%) think his leadership is just about right. Another 12% are undecided.

Obama got a bump from his State of the Union speech and the speech he gave after the shootings in Tuscon, AZ. But now, reality is setting in, especially with the Mideast crisis, the economy, rising food and fuel prices and the protests in Wisconsin in which he got in the middle of.
One only hopes the GOP can eventually find a quality candidate to run against Obama. If they can, Obama will be Carterized.
