THE OBAMACARE “BOUNCE” fell flat. Here’s the data from the Rasmussen Obama Approval Index polling. This first chart shows the “bounce” in approval following passage of the health care reform legislation. It didn’t last, but there was a 10 point rise in the president’s (dis)approval index.



More interesting is the second chart, where the bounce is dissected in the inset. Note that President Obama’s strong disapproval numbers (red line) hardly changed. What happened was that almost all the bounce came from the disengaged – those voters who either mildly approve or mildly disapprove the president’s performance.



Hardly a strong showing for ObamaCare.
