My fellow Red County contributor Tony Phyrillas recently opined that Friday's razor-thin victory for cap-and-trade in the House proves that the Obama "honeymoon" with the nation is over.

Polling data from Rasmussen Reports released today supports Tony's assertion:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 31% 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 -2. That matches the lowest level yet recorded

Obama's Presidential Approval Index was consistently in the double digits until the middle of March and it has been steadily declining since then.  No doubt the trillions of dollars to be wasted on bloated TARP, cap-and-trade, and proposed universal health care legislation have taken their toll.  But I suspect mayhem in the streets of Teheran and the threat of mushroom clouds appearing over Honolulu have really made many start thinking that The One is way out of his league on foreign policy and that the albatrosses set loose by Jimmy Carter II have only started to come home to roost.

If nothing else, this poll shows that America is a deeply-divided nation and that Obama's lofty post-partisan rhetoric of unity and change has conclusively been shown to be a sham and a fraud now that his true leftist agenda has been revealed for all to see.
