Neutral should be a choice in the poll. I tend to take the long-term view of things, which doesn't seem too rosy given our current debt/deficit situation.

It should be noted that there is a difference between personal popularity and policy/agenda popularity. The media likes to spout the higher number of the two, which is Obama's personal popularity. When polled on policy/agenda, Obama's marks are lower, and generally in line with, or lower than GWB at his 100-day mark.

In a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll taken April 20-22, Americans gave Bush a 62 percent approval rating. That figure compares with 55 percent for Clinton in 1993 and 58 percent for Bush's father, former President George Bush, in 1989. And 74 percent of Amercans say Bush has a vision for his presidency -- an important number, given his father's problem with the "vision thing."

Except for reversing the ban on federal spending on stem cell research, he hasn't done much I approved of.
