Catholic Voters Strongly Disapprove of Obama

Obama's re-election chances are growing slimmer by the day. According to a new Rasmussen Report, an overwhelming majority of Catholic voters disapprove of the job President Obama has done by 59 percent. 

Catholics strongly disapprove of the job President Obama is doing as the debate continues over his administration’s new policy forcing Catholic institutions to pay for contraception they morally oppose. While the president’s overall job approval ratings have improved over the past couple of months, they have remained steady among Catholics.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of likely Catholic voters nationwide at least somewhat disapprove of the president’s job performance, while 40% at least somewhat approve. But the passion’s on the side of those who don’t like the job he’s doing: 44% Strongly Disapprove versus 19% who Strongly Approve.

How long until the White House further compromises on the contraception issue with these numbers?
