All surveys were conducted in conjunction with the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. It’s important to consider timing in evaluating these results. Polls taken around the president's State of the Union address or his speech in Tucson, Arizona following the shooting of Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords might reflect a modest bounce for the president. Polls taken as the situations in Egypt or Libya intensified may reflect the opposite.
