More bad news for President Obama, via Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just a point above the lowest level ever recorded for this President. It’s also the sixth straight day in negative double digits, matching the longest such streak.
[...]
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

On “healthcare reform”, the numbers aren’t any better…

Support for the health care plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats is down to 42%. Fifty-four percent (54%) are opposed.

Set your wayback machines for November 5, 2008. MSNBC reported that with 52% of the vote, Obama “could realistically claim a mandate.” Now that his DISapproval ratings are at 53%, and 54% of Americans are against the healthcare reform as proposed by the Democrats in Congress, what does that say about the “mandate” of the American people?
