Obama's Negatives Grow

From Rasmussen Reports:
Thirty-two percent (32%) now Strongly Disapprove of the President’s performance, the highest level of disapproval measured to date. The rising negative is driven by Republicans, 58% of who Strongly Disapprove of Obama’s performance. Since Inauguration Day, Republican opposition has doubled.
These figures give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +6, his lowest rating to date (
see trends). The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. Overall, 56% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 43% disapprove.
Note: Obama's total disaproval rating is creeping closer and closer to the critical 50% mark while his approval rating is falling lower and lower. This is not a good sign as we reach the midpoint of Obama's first 100 days.
