Obama Agonistes: Only 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve Obama Presidential Performance

For those from Rio Linda, "Agonistis" means "struggling with adversity"

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 28% 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, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13

Forty eightt percent (48%) believe the federal gas tax should be eliminated until gas prices come down. Forty percent (40%) disagree.

Also on the energy front, voters strongly believe that it is possible to develop the nation's shale oil resources without damaging the environment.   Just 14% see it as an unattainable goal. Not surprisingly, 57% favor the use of "fracking" to develop energy resources in the United States.   Most believe it is possible that the development of shale oil resources could end U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

In a hypothetical 2012 matchup, President Obama leads Mitt Romney leads by a single percentage point, 45% to 44%. If Rick Santorum is the GOP nominee, the president leads 47% to 43%.
