For the first time in his administration, according to the Rasmussen daily presidential tracking poll, more people strongly disapprove of the job President Barack Obama is doing than strongly approve, giving Obama a presidential approval index of -2, the lowest rating to date and the first time the index has fallen below zero.

According to Rasmussen's telephone surveys, 32 percent of the nation's voters now strongly approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president, while 34 percent strongly disapprove.

This follows a report earlier in the week that President Obama's job approval rating fell to 58 percent in the Gallup poll daily tracking for June 16-18, a new low for Obama in Gallup tracking and a sharp decline from the 69 percent approval Obama enjoyed immediately after his inauguration.

The Gallup poll decline reflected a drop in President Obama's approval ratings among independents and Republicans, with the president's approval ratings among Democrats remaining over 90 percent, as shown in the following graph:
