Rasmussen Reports: Reports on the decline in the President Obama's approval ratings since his health care reform push, in the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll, those that approve of the job performance of President Obama now stands at 48%, those that disapprove is now 52%. When a President gets in to the 40% area he is in trouble, the low ratings affect his entire agenda. It simple maths folks, if a President popular, over 50% then the Congress is afraid of his popularity but once he nose dives to the 40s the Congress think that President has lost the American people, thus the can vote against him and this will benefit them at home. Obama needs a win over health care reform, but that win should not hurt him down the line, thus the Health Care Reform Bill when it arrives should be a water down version, in effect it should no nothing on the whole, if Obama pushes a bill through that has massive changes to the health of millions of Americans without the support of Republicans then he will lose the Congress in 2012 and the White House in 2010.
