Seems the folks are not happy with the "change" they are getting. A majority oppose the auto company bailouts, the excessive spending, increasing deficits, and closing of Gitmo


Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Sunday, June 07, 2009

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 35% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +3 (see trends). Check out our weekly review of key polls to see “What They Told Us.”

For most of his five months in office, the President’s approval ratings have remained quite stable. However, that has not been the case over the past couple of weeks. Obama enjoyed a positive bounce in the polls following the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. His Approval Index numbers reached their highest level in two months.

Then, as the Sotomayor bounce faded, the President’s ratings slipped following the General Motors bankruptcy filing. Just 26% of Americans believe the GM bailout and takeover was a good idea and nearly as many support a boycott of GM products. More specifically, the number who Strongly Disapprove jumped several points following the GM bankruptcy. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary reaction to recent news or something more substantive.

Americans overwhelmingly believe that judges of different backgrounds—men, women, white, Hispanic—would reach the same decisions if they carefully studied the facts and tried to apply the law as written. Eighty-three percent (83%) say our legal system should apply the law equally to all Americans rather than using the law to help those who have less power and influence.
