Speech Bump

Thursday, January 26, 2012: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that

Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) at least somewhat disapprove.

25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13 (see trends).

That’s the president’s best rating in a month and comes at a time when the number who say the country is moving in the right direction  has reached the highest level in seven months at 26%. Consumer confidence is up sharply from three months ago, but still down from a year ago....

There's always been something in the national psyche that makes many Americans especially receptive to carnival barkers, sideshow shils, patent-medicine peddlers, flimflam men, bunco artists, and political hustlers. Just ask P. T. Barnum.
