No... really:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.
The number who strongly disapprove inched up another point to the highest level measured to date and the overall Approval Index is at the lowest level yet for Obama (see trends).
In the wake of last week’s disappointing report on job loss, consumer confidence has fallen to the lowest level in two months. The Rasmussen Investor Index shows investor confidence falling to the lowest level in three months. The number of investors who say the economy is getting worse jumped from 43% before the jobs report to 51% today.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve.
The aroma of leadership stink is stirring the masses.
Finally.
His numbers will continue to tank as people see precisely what he has done and is doing to this country and the economy.
And his present apologist appeasement at the G8 will be reflected in next week's numbers.

What do the 31% missing say?
They're too busy flagellating themselves over Michael Jackson's death.

So that would be a "I don't know"?
31% is nearly a third, that's kind of a big number isn't it?
It's weird that they don't mention it.

That doesn't mean it falls your way, buddy boy.

So... you're not even curious as to what those numbers say or why the poll doesn't mention them?
Does the missing data suggest that perhaps the poll isn't very valid? That is the -5 rating cannot be accurate because not all of the data is being represented?
Do you know what a "lie by omission" is?
