Obama upside-down by 15% in latest poll

According to the latest presidential tracking numbers from the Rasmussen poll, only 26% of registered voters say that they "strongly approve" of Barack Obama's job performance, while 41% "strongly disapprove" - leaving him upside-down by 15 points among passionate voters.

“In fact, when it comes to the rising cost of gas at the pump, it’s my view that the administration’s policies are actually designed to bring about higher gas prices, a view that shouldn’t be the least bit controversial given the fact that the President’s own energy secretary has suggested on a couple of occasions now that his goal isn’t to drive gas prices down"...
