Mr. Unpopularity

The only numbers going up at the moment are unemployment and the deficit.
Obama, on the other hand, is grooving on down. His approval index is now at -9. Dear Leader's verbose powers of persuasion have met kryptonite.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9.

The number who Strongly Disapprove of the President has increased slightly following the prime time press conference on Wednesday night. That figure—39%--is now at the highest level yet recorded. As a result, the overall Approval Index has fallen to the lowest level yet recorded for this President.
