Rasmussen!!! Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Obama's job performance at 51%!!)



The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove (see trends).



The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 38% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9.



This is the presidents best job approval rating since early June.



Thirty-six percent (36%) of voters believe the government should require every American to buy or obtain health insurance, but 50% oppose the so-called individual mandate. Uninsured Americas are required to have health insurance by January 1, and failure to do so could result in sizable penalties.



With a federal government shutdown looming tonight at midnight, House Republicans are proposing a short-term budget that would delay the individual mandate a year, but Senate Democrats are unlikely to agree. Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers on the shutdown at 10:30 am Eastern today.



Government-mandated health care exchanges are scheduled to begin accepting insurance applicants tomorrow, but just 47% know whether their state has agreed to set up a health care exchange.
