Seems like the love affair continues. Guess the naysayers are still a significant MINORITY. This is good for many and I know they are smiling across this great land still.
If you read the article you will see his disapproval rating is 12%.
It's way too early for polls on approval. He hasn't done anything yet except make a bunch of asinine comments and issue some highly controversial "executive orders". So far, in my view, he's scoring very low. He's looking like an ass and a dictator already.
Give this time. He's going to do good and bad things. If times remain tough, he is going to take much of the blame (justified or not). There are going to be record deficits and debt during his Admin. He can blame it on Bush, but he's choosing to expand them. While this is, in theory, being done with good intentions
I am mystified how a person of voting age could believe this, but then again somebody voted this nobody into office.
Remember, Bush had the highest approval rating of ANY PRESIDENT during his first year.
Not quite. Here's gallup poll of last eleven president thru their tenure. His high point was soon after 9-11 when the country united behind him, and it all downhill from there.
What stands out is that Clinton is the only one who left office with higher rating (about 65%) than when he entered the office (about 55%). Reagan was next best at 60% and 55% respectively.
But-but-but how can that be? That would mean some dems were willing to give him a chance and I know that can't be true. I mean, not considering what I've read on this forum. You know, about the hateful libs who never gave Bush a chance...
I've seen at least a dozen posts stating that the big defense for not giving Obama a chance is: "That's what you did to Bush. All you democrats got together and decided to not give Bush a chance, not even from the first day."
Hmmmm.... if all the dems were trying to trip him up from the start, how did Bush get that approval rating?
Me thinks you got em Normie. Great use of logic and their previous whines.

68% disagree with you and 12% agree. You may not like the numbers but those are the numbers. So continue to alienate the majority and you just may get a total of 8 years to meltdown over.
Wow, he has really proved himself to be an AMAZING preisdent.........
............in his first 4 days.
Maybe we should give it a while.

Bush had LOW approval ratings his first six months...they would've been lower but nobody saw him much because he was on vacation 46% of the time....his ratings conveniently went up after 9/11 and ANY president would've got higher ratings under those circumstances.
Big deal, Carter came into office and had 75% and left with a 44% rating. Truman left with 32%. GW during 9/11 had the highest of any president with 90%, lets see if the messiah goes that high?
