60% TRUST THEIR OWN ECONOMIC JUDGMENT OVER OBAMA'S

ONLY 27% TRUST OBAMA'S ECONOMIC JUDGMENT OVER THEIR OWN

Says Pollster Rasmussen.

It hasn't been a very good week for President Obama in public opinion polls on several different fronts. Not only do 60% trust their own economic judgment more than President Obama's, but 18% more strongly disapprove of the president's performance than those who strongly approve. This was the highest gap of strong disapproval over strong approval since President Obama took office.

Specifically, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that only 26% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. At the same time, Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18. As you can see from the graphic below, than negative number has been steadily getting worse for Obama.

Related polls show that the public is turning more negative towards President Obama's policies and big government solutions.

For example, fifty-two percent (52%) of Americans oppose more government regulation of the financial sector, up from 47% in June when the president first proposed it to prevent a repeat of last year’s Wall Street meltdown. It looks like people aren't completely buying Obama's attempts to demonize the "fat cats".

Also, most Americans also against the passage of another economic stimulus package this year. Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters say more jobs would be created if the remaining spending planned in the first stimulus plan was cancelled immediately.
