The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12.
Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters favor requiring a photo ID to vote.
Mitt Romney and President Obama are tied at 46% in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. If Rick Santorum is the GOP nominee, the president leads 49% to 43%. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). See tracking history for Obama vs. all four Republican candidates.
Romney leads the president in Arizona, while Santorum is tied. Both GOP hopefuls trail Obama slightly in Florida.
In his weekly syndicated column, Scott Rasmussen says that “One of the fundamental gaps between the American people and their elected politicians can be found in perceptions of the relationship between economic growth, job creation and government spending.” To create jobs, voters want to cut while Washington wants to spend.
Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) at least somewhat disapprove.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) believe all Americans should pay the same share of their income in taxes. The call for higher taxes on the wealthy stems from the fact that 66% believe middle-class Americans pay a larger share of their income in taxes than wealthy Americans do. Just 29% think wealthy Americans pay a larger share.
