In the days following the two major tea party rallies around the country, the Obama polls reached new lows. The Rasmussen daily presidential trend report clearly indicates new lows in the presidential approval index, which is the difference between those who strongly approve and those who strongly dissapprove. The index is updated daily.
The lows within the index indicates the impact the movement has in the immediate days following tea party rallies, as well as the lasting affects as the approval has remained on a downward spiral in the weeks following each event.
