These numbers are starting to look brutal, if they hold.

They mostly resemble Reagan`s numbers at this point, who was also at 45% in March of '82.

So nothing to worry about yet, especially considering the horrible crop of Presidential candidates the Republicans currently have.

And Carter's were higher.  I think that Reagan's disapproval numbers were lower.

Approval ratings for Congress are far lower -- and especially for the Republican Party.

All of these Rasmussen approval numbers make zero sense to me and are wildly inconsistent.

Fixed.

Actually the Republicans have held a lead on the generic congressional ballot since late June of 2009.

Any challenge to President Obama from the Republican Party will come from either a current or former State governor or a US Senator.  How popular some right-wing Republican is in his own  right-leaning State will matter little a state near the middle of the spectrum (i.e., Virginia, Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Iowa... not his own)

Rasmussen was not around back then.  You cannot possibly compare Gallup polls to Rasmussen.

Which has nothing to do with your claim.

LOL, if Obama loses MA i'll eat my hat.

Obama was never liked in MA. He lost the primary badly, and was holding a single-digit lead until Palin. It would depend on who the Republicans nominate,  but don't expect MA to be the most pro-Obama state in 2012. Not by a long-shot. The Democrats are a weird split between the urban liberal who love him and the sort of ethnic traditional Democrats who he is  having so much trouble with in West Virginia and Arkansas.

MA, MO, NH, WA



Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60% or higher disapproval)
40-44% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow
<50% with Approval Equal: 10% Yellow (really white)

<50%  Approval greater: 30% Green
50-55%: 40% Green
56-60%: 60% Green
>60%: 80% Green


Months:

A -  January     G -  July
B -  February   H -  August
C -  March        I -  September
D -  April          J  -  October
E -  May           K -  November
F -   June         L -   December

S - suspect poll (examples for such a qualification: strange crosstabs, likely inversion of the report (for inversions, only for polls above 55% or below 45%...  let's say Vermont 35% approval or Oklahoma 65% approval), and more than 10% undecided. Anyone who suggests that a poll is suspect must explain why it is suspect.

Z- no recent poll (maximum 180 days) before December 1, 2009 except Montana (November 2009), which rarely gets polled.

You forget that Obama is at 43% at Rasmussen's national poll. Minnesota having 6% higher approvals than the nation is pretty damn good for Obama at this point. MN was only 1% more DEM than the nation on Election Night 2008.

40-44% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow

<50%  Approval greater: 30% Green
50-55%: 40% Green
56-60%: 60% Green
>60%: 80% Green


Months:

A -  January     G -  July
B -  February   H -  August
C -  March        I -  September
D -  April          J  -  October
E -  May           K -  November
