In all the talk about personalities you might find the results of two independent Gallup Polls to be interesting.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval
Obama has a 66% approval rating with Americans

Limbaugh Well-Liked by Many, but Not All, Republicans
PRINCETON, NJ -- Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is viewed favorably by 60% of Republicans nationwide, while 23% have an unfavorable opinion of him. In sharp contrast, only 6% of Democrats view Limbaugh favorably, while 63% view him unfavorably

Interesting to compare the two and ponder that Americans approve of Obama more then Republicans do Rush. Is he the future of the Republican Party?

He IS the Republican party.

The fact that polls are being taken comparing the president to a shock jock comedian like Rush at all is even more telling than the results themselves. It's just nutty.

The polls were not taken to compare. They are two independent polls that I posted in the same thread for comparison purposes.
