Thirty percent (30%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +3 (see trends).

Fifty-two percent (52%) now are concerned that the government will end up doing too much in response to the nation’s economic challenges. That’s the highest level of concern since last November’s Presidential Election. Just 31% now worry the government will do too little.
