Obama 44%

Can the 30's be far away? From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 26% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove which Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. That matches the President’s ratings just before the State-of-the-Union Address. While Obama received a modest bounce in his ratings following the speech, today’s results suggest that the bounce is over (see trends).

Voters continue to trust Republicans more than Democrats on most key issues facing the nation, but the gap is smaller now when it comes to the economy.Forty-six percent (46%) trust the GOP more when it comes to the economy while 42% trust the Democrats more. The American people overwhelmingly reject the basics of Keynesian economics: only 11% believe more deficit spending is needed to spur the economy while 70% say deficit cutting is the answer. As the federal budget debate heats up, just 35% of voters realize that most federal spending goes to just three areas: National Defense, Social Security, and Medicare.
