The latest Gallup Presidential Approval poll shows only 43% of those surveyed approve of President Obama's job performance while 50% disapprove. To put that in perspective, after 884 Days In Office, all US Presidents from Bush II to Truman had a higher job approval rating than Obama with the exception of Carter. And while both Reagan and Clinton had even lower numbers than Obama early in their respective first terms, by this point both office holders had passed Obama and were continuing to experience consistent improvements in their ratings.
Why don't we encourage whats best for this country no matter who is in the White House/Congress. This class warfare crap is getting old. And the who is Liberal or Conservative is getting even older, quit with the labeling and get chit done for once...geeez
You broken record twerps are brain phuked over this stuff. Solutions instead of finger pointing would go a long way, it separates the ignorant from the intelligent.
Dont worry, if he was going to last 8 years like GWB did it would be in the teens by the time he has destroyed America.
Of course you twisted the info, at this point in time Obama hugging up the Jimmy as the worst ever at that particular time.
Hang on, he will pass Jimmy in every category before he heads back to thugland in Jan 2013.
With a total failed term in every category Obama himself has been making comments about his family doesnt need him to be President etc. That tells me he knows he is a one termer and the worst ever.
He came into office to destroy America financially and globally, he has accomplished that so he no longer cares to be in this job.
Then we can start to clean up the WH and get working on fixing the disaster he, Nancy and Harry has left this country in.
The trend for most presidents is steadily downward, and if they get a second term, most of them end up with pretty low approval numbers before the end of their second term.
At 43% approval and a solid 50% disapproval 884 days in, it looks like BO is screwed for a second go around.
The economy isn't getting better in spite of all the tinkering and it looks like that will be his undoing.

There are countless threads on this, likely it's all the right have to run on in their desperation as they know 2012 is going to be a huge loss
Obama's ratings have stayed relatively flat and high throughout his presidency, the republicans and tea party that were support to make some kind of miraculous change taking the house have done nothing but further pushing their fascist agenda. The congressional approval rating since the right took over the house has plunged to about 12-13%. Tea party approval ratings and turnouts at events have been laughable at best,.. Their candidates are the weakest since the FDR days, a historic win in NY for the democrats, massive protests nationwide against the right,.. The republicans don't have a chance in hell of winning.
I only need to note who the OP is to recognize that any poll or study posted is going to be grossly inaccurate and incorrect. George Bush is in a league of his own when it comes to this category. Republicans such as George Bush, Sr, Reagan ("trickle down lark"), Nixon, Ford easily not far behind.
Consider Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama near the top of the list of best Presidents...Democrats.

You conveniently misconstrue Bush's ratings to begin with. After inauguration in '01, Bush barely starts above 55%, and quickly dives into the low 50's. Then as he was about to tank...9/11 occurs. The two major upticks in W's ratings, were 9/11 and the invasion-cluster **** of Iraq in '03. Both keep W from plunging deep before getting out of his first term.
Clinton on the other hand had a low rating of 38% during his first term, after that even during the Lewinsky scandal, he never went below 55% ~EVEN IN HIS SECOND TERM ~. Oh, and Clinton left w/ a 64% approval rating. Higher than when he came in.

Gallup doesn't suit your fancy?
Well, let's just look at the poll numbers of those presidents you mentioned.
Bush II was at 61% on day 884. He squeaked through to a second term with 53% on election day. Bush I was at 72% and still managed to lose because he broke an important promise. Reagan was only at 47% but he was steadily trending upward with a booming economy, falling inflation and a rebounding US dollar. He would be at 61% by November 1984 and win a second term in one of the largest electoral landslides in the nation's history.
Kennedy, like Bush II, was at 61% on day 884. He didn't stick around long enough to become unpopular. Clinton was at 48% and like Reagan was trending upward due to positive economic events and rising consumer confidence. Even though Newt had to drag him to the alter to get a responsible budget, he still received credit for the positive outcome.
I wish I had something positive to say about Obama.
Maybe you can think of something.
