Pollster Rasmussen indicates that healthcare is not helping the POTUS:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-three percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. … For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.

I have to say, james, I liked your blogging way more when you were at USN&WR — you actually wrote stuff and provided your always interesting, not just cut’n'paste stuff I get anyway. Is Reuters not letting you off the leash? Or are you working on bigger/more thoughtful pieces elsewhere?
