Rasmussen: Obama At 61-37% Approval

Rasmussen Reports finds President-elect Barack Obama with an approval rating of 61-37 percent today. Voters are looking for bipartisan co-operation in the Obama era, the firm reports, adding, "However, A plurality believe that Obama will govern as a partisan Democrat."

Rasmussen puts Obama's approval rating at +20 percent today; that is based on the difference between those who strongly approve and those who strongly disapprove of him. Rasmussen says it believes this is a more fair way to gauge approval than the usual method of combining those with strong feelings and those with not-so-strong feelings.
