It’s now only 8 days away from the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.
Thus far most Americans are pleased with Obama’s performance as President-elect. According to Rasmussen he currently has a 67% approval rating.
2012 will likely be a referendum on Obama’s performance during his first term as President […]

So far most Americans seem to be impressed with how President-elect Obama is handling things. It’s now been a full month since he was elected (and it’s still over six weeks until he actually takes office) and his Rasmussen approval rating is now sitting at 66%.

While the Republicans have to be pretty happy with the bounce they’ve got from their convention, I think […]

McCain/Palin are seeing a convention bounce according to the latest Rasmussen (which now shows the race tied) and Gallup (which now has McCain up by 3% points) daily tracking polls.

Obama is bouncing up in the latest Gallup & Rasmussen national tracking polls which have been showing the race close to a dead heat recently.
Obama is now up 46% to 42% in the Gallup Tracking poll and 47% to 45% in the Rasmussen tracking poll. While these leads are too small for the Obama campaign […]

While this is bad news for the Obama campaign, it should be pointed out that no […]

The latest Michigan Rasmussen poll has Barack Obama ahead of John McCain 47% to 39% in the state. Michigan has been considered a possible opening for the Republicans due to problems with the Michigan primary (where Obama wasn’t even on the ballot.) But it appears that the Democrats in the state have “unified” behind their […]
