The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 33% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-three percent (33%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of 0 (see trends).

Seven percent (7%) rate the economy as good or excellent while 59% say it’s poor. A Rasmussen video report notes that 55% believe business leaders will do more than government officials to get the economy moving again.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) say that volunteer activity is more important that political action. But, people are evenly divided as to whether or not volunteerism or government policies are the best way to bring about the change that America needs.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter.

Overall, 55% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. Forty-four percent (44%) disapprove. For more Presidential barometers, see Obama By the Numbers and recent demographic highlights.

Most oppose the “Cash for Clunkers” plan that’s been approved by Congress and 50% believe that hate is on the rise in America.

The cash for clunkers program isn't resonating with the middle class and poor. Might be because the few amongst them who can afford to take advantage likely won't be able to get any credit, or at least not credit at a reasonable rate.

Glad we have two of our four vehicles paid off. The Mustang is nearing half-paid off, too.

The Indiana town (RV capital of the world?) where Obama kicked off his Stimulus Plan has greater than 19% unemployment since that speech.

The average air speed of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.

The man who introduced the Anti-Handgun bill in Washington DC shot and killed a burgular with a, at that time, illegal handgun and was not prosecuted. Hmmm.....

Cash for Clunkers is a stupid way of doing it.

A -It starts in August so you can forget car sales until then.

B-It is very restrictive and limited in scope and not big enough Rebates.

C-Why subsidize the foriegn market when you are trying to save US AutoMakers unless you really aren't.

D Won't do a damn thing for poor people who have bad credit and drive junkers.

This is a sham to appease the green freaks, Just give us a 10,000 cupon to go buy an American Car and put our brothers and sisters back the hell to work please !

#12 I haven't had time to calculate that yet. My order for African swallows has been slowed by Customs.
