The weak and the slow?! You spelled sense like "sence." No wonder your political and religious ideologies have to deal with a party than ran a country into the ground over eight years. Obama didn't cause the mess we're in, he just got stuck cleaning it up. It's way to much for one man to handle in one year.
I would not get too giddy about it, they will fall again soon
he tried to talk a little tough finally about the latest attack and promised heads would roll, have they? nope
I am waiting for him to give the report of who all screwed up on Christamas day, also he is still trying to cram his health care bull crap bill and then comes cap and trade
Yeah, chances are pretty good (not assured, but pretty good) that he bottomed out a month or so ago. Historically, Presidential approval ratings have largely been driven by the economy. This past year was horrendous (as I expected it be) - and Obama paid the price, but this new year is looking a lot better.
The massive layoffs of the past year are ending and overall job creation is about to begin, house prices have stabilized (and climbing in much of the country) and (thanks the dramatic rise of the stock markets) 401K's and pension funds for average Americans have recovered much of what they lost under the last year and half of "Junior" and those funds are still growing.
All told, this is looking to be potentially a very good year (or at leat reflecting very positive changes) - all of which bodes pretty well for the approval ratings of whoever is President (in any year), so (as I said) I would guess Obama has seen his lowest ratings. Not too bad actually to bottom out in the upper to mid 40's. Reagan dropped into the upper 30's before he began his climb as the economy recovered (after more than 2 full years of recession).
Of course. I would have let him slide if he didn't try to act like he was some intellectual. Republicans these days...
Oh yes, it really awful having a Republican daughter working on her PhD............... Where are all the intelligent people anyway? They certainly aren't in DC.

Your daughters political views are horrid in my opinion . You cant blame a thing on Democrats yet. They gained control in 2006, had a President that vetoed everything, and are now stuck cleaning up the mess Republicans created. I cant be much clearer than that.
There's a saying that goes something like people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
If you didn't have a problem with it when Republicans had control, you shouldn't have a problem with it now.
I thought none of you people liked Rasmussen. Hmmmmm, all of a sudden they are ok. Ain't that something. I wanted to mention that the daily approval rating had gone form -18 to -10 from Saturday to today but was afraid that you folks would take exception.
Rasmussen's Obama numbers always come in well behind the rest of the polls, so I still don't think their numbers are accurate.
However, they still show Obama's numbers have risen since their previous poll.
And a gain is still a gain !!!
