Rasmussen Reports

44% Strongly Disapprove of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Fifty-percent (50%) are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation.

One reason for the opposition is the cost of the plan. Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide are opposed to reducing Medicare spending as a means of paying for the reform effort. Most also oppose the excise tax on “Cadillac” insurance plans.

Thirty-four percent (34%) now say health care reform is the goal the President is most likely to achieve. Voters still say deficit reduction is the most important and the least likely to be achieved.

On another topic in the news, 59% say the U.S. should continue To build fence on the U.S.-Mexico border. The latest polling data can always be found on the Rasmussen Reports home page, updated with new data at least six times daily.
