Rasmussen reports that Obama has gone into the negatives for the first time for Total Approve/Total Disapprove today (July 24, 2009).  I heard Rasmussen talking about this chart a while back on a radio program.  He said that the Total Approve/Total Disapprove are a prime indicator of electability, more so than the Strongly Approve/Strongly Disapprove indicators.  Both indicators are negative now.  They will go up and down a little more, but we can safely predict that the downward trend in Obama’s numbers will continue as the economy continues to suffer.  Rasmussen pointed out in his radio conversation that the economy drives presidential approval numbers more than anything else.  Since Obama is doing so much to harm the economy, it’s a given that he won’t be re-elected.

Stumble it!
