And last but not least, the United States is now 1 TRILLION Dollars in the hole. At the same time Barry & Co. want State Run Healthcare (at least 1 Trillion more) and another "stimulus ( another 1 Trillion).

How's that HOPENCHANGE goin' for ya?

[Nickdfresh]

OMG!!! He's only at a 59&#37; approval!!! He's so fucked man!!

[bueno bob]

Yeah, and? In the kind of climate we have with the economy and state of affairs in general, a 59&#37; approval rating isn't too bad, considering what it COULD be. I get the feeling that McCain and Palin would have been begging for those kind of numbers by now; of course, I only base that on the fact that I lived through eight years of Bush Junior...

[FORD]

By now, McCrazy's heart would have given out under the stress, and Moosealini would have already brought on the nuclear holocaust by mid April.

We would have all been dead, so we wouldn't have to worry about the economy, I guess.

Is that an improvement? I guess maybe it is to the racist Freepers who can't stand the thought of a black man in the white house, or a Hispanic woman on the Supreme Court.

Only because were still alive.

OMG!!! He's only at a 59% approval!!! He's so fucked man!!

Is it not normal to lose the virgin within 6 months of the matrimonial bed?

Obviously, this is more about how My servant BURAQ is being treated than how he treats others, according to the appropriate ways.

.. all praise and glory, be unto ME

Why don't we have a poll-off? Because, it seems that Rasmussen buries their numbers in lots of obtuse semantics...

How can you have 49% "approve" and 51% "disapprove?" You mean that there are no percentages of "undecided?" That's a fucking first....

Obama Job Approval Trends Downward in Second Quarter
Overall 62% second-quarter average compares favorably to immediate predecessors
by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama's second quarter as U.S. president, spanning April 20-July 19, began with some of the highest approval ratings of his presidency, but these slumped a bit near the end of the quarter, including a term-low 56% approval rating in July 5-7 polling. Overall, he averaged 62% approval for the quarter.



Obama's job approval rating generally exceeded the 62% quarterly average in April, May, and early June. This included 68% approval for April 30-May 2 polling, one point off Obama's 69% high. But since early June, with only a couple of exceptions, Obama's approval rating has been at or below 62%.

Specifically, from April 20 through June 8, Obama averaged 64% approval. Since then, his average is 59%. This recent decline probably reflects concern about increased government spending and involvement in the private sector, according to a recent Gallup survey that probed Americans for the reasons they approve or disapprove of Obama. Those who support him largely recognize his efforts toward addressing the problems facing the country.

Despite the ups and downs in Obama's second quarter, his overall average is little changed from the 63% average for his first quarter in office. And even though he has had numerous sub-60% individual ratings in June and July, all of these have still exceeded the historical average of 55% job approval for presidents from Truman through George W. Bush. On this basis, it can be argued that he is still in the honeymoon phase of his presidency.

Obama's 62% second-quarter average exceeds those for his immediate predecessors, George W. Bush (56%) and Bill Clinton (44%), but is similar to those for Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and the elder George Bush. Among presidents elected to their first terms since 1952, only Dwight Eisenhower (72%) and John Kennedy (76%) had second-quarter averages significantly better than Obama's.

There has been no clear historical pattern as to whether presidents' approval ratings rise or fall in their third quarter in office. Eisenhower, Nixon, Carter, and Reagan saw their averages decline from the second to the third quarter. Kennedy's third-quarter average was essentially the same as his second-quarter average. But the elder and the younger Bush saw theirs increase. The elder Bush's apparently got an initial bounce after the Tiananmen Square incident in China in June 1989 but it remained high as Eastern European nations adopted political reforms and the U.S. economy remained strong during the third quarter. The younger Bush's soared after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Clinton's average approval rating began to recover after bottoming out at 44% in his second quarter in office.

Obama's third quarter promises to be eventful, given his push for healthcare reform. While Congress has now drafted healthcare legislation, its passage is far from certain. Obama remains committed to reform, so its ultimate legislative success or failure could go a long way toward influencing how Americans evaluate him.

Survey Methods

Results are based on telephone interviews with 45,320 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted April 20-July 19, 2009, as part of Gallup Poll Daily tracking. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.

Interviews are conducted with respondents on land-line telephones (for respondents with a land-line telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell-phone only).

In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

Presidential Approval Indexes are a joke, especially those people that like to follow it every day. What's not a joke is our new record deficit and debt! I can't wait until our taxes go up. I guess some people like high taxes.
