I'm laughing. Rasmussen Polling is a bunch of douchebags.

The only thing they'll list is a presidential approval index even though THAT is also plus 7%. I just emailed those slimes and asked why they don't state quite openly what his ACTUAL APPROVAL percentages are?

Oh my. The conservatives are melting like the Wicked Witch of the West.

1. Actually, they do. 58% approve, 41% disapprove

3. I mean that it is buried and not very clear in their headlines. Get it?

2. They actually do list the exact actual approval percentages.

"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, 58% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far while 41% disapprove."

4. I think you're overreacting

It's in there.

They even have the historical number here: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history

5. I don't think so. His polls questions are typically leading as well

which is why his polls are usually skewed lower than the average for Obama and higher than normal for Bush.

He's a tool. You know it. I know it. Even putting his stupid INDEX number first in the series you linked to is stupid and misleading.
