Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any President at This Point


President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.

Below are comparable ratings for other presidents since Gallup began taking presidential approval polls in 1938:

-- George W. Bush, 86 percent
-- Bill Clinton, 52 percent
-- George H.W. Bush, 71 percent
-- Ronald Reagan, 49 percent
-- Jimmy Carter, 57 percent
-- Gerald Ford, 52 percent
-- Richard Nixon, 59 percent
-- Lyndon Johnson, 74 percent
-- John Kennedy, 77 percent
-- Dwight Eisenhower, 69 percent
-- Harry Truman, 49 percent

*************

I might point out, that the Gallup Poll usually leans slightly towards the Dems, historically, so bias is not likely to be at work, here ... :smokin:

[the image reaper]

lots of views, zero comments ... what happened to all the Obama-worshippers that used to dominate this Forum ? ... :smokin:

[redtails]

I'm not political by any means, but Bush getting that high of an approval? Wow, I'm in a red state and EVERYONE I've talked to HATED the man since his first day!

Maybe he promised too much change? Like bringing home our toops...

Are you saying that the sheeple who fell for the "CHANGE" platform are getting a clue? I find *that* hard to believe. ;)

I give O! a 100% :thumbsup: He is the "Ultimate Politician". :wtf:

Bush was riding the Post 9/11, slaughter al queda by any means necessary wave. Bush was loved and hated in every state...not just blue ones. Love him or hate him, the guy got more individual votes than any candidate in history I think.....I didnt vote for him but thats impressive. Whats a blue state anyway? Beats me. We have got to stop with this red/blue BS.....it keeps our nation stuck in shit. I refuse....absolutely refuse to believe that we ALL cant find a middle road to follow....all of us will have to give up some of our IDEALS to meet halfway for the benefit of our kids and their kids....I would readily give my life without a second thought for that. Its ridiculous the petty bickering we all get consumed with, myself included.

Obama still has plenty of time to redirect his objectives and lead from a more center appraoch and win re-election....3 years is a long time and ALOT can happen. The Democrats will be hammered in the midterms no doubt, punishment for selling out their base with Afghanistan and Iraq and Gay issues.

And of course we have to remember where the country was during the first year of Bush's presidency. Clinton had left the country in pretty good shape, there were no real huge problems like Bush left for Obama. And the reason Bush's ratings were so high then was because he was no where to be found. He was out golfing and fishing almost the entire first year. And then 9-11 happened and things went a little downhill from there.

[boaz]

damn, those Bush boys were popular. Although, the graphic shows shrub sr. with the 86% and dub with 71. alot of Bush jr. rating was just relief from finally getting that pervert Clinton out of the White House. I would guess Bush Sr. was riding on the wave Raygun created when he challenged Germany to "tear down this wall", and they did. :smokin:

but yeah, I agree we should stop seeing states in red and blue . . . and instead start seeing them in green and light green. :jointsmile:

[Islandborn]

Clinton oversaw America being attacked by islamofascists in Kenya, Tanzania, USS COLE, World TraDE Center and did didley squat. He also oversaw the Govt.pressuring banks into going against common sense guidlines and giving home loans to broke people, uneducated morons, and idiots living WAY, WAY, outside their means....thus collapsing the housing market. W tried to investigate this in 1996 but was blocked by Barney Frank & Chris Dodd....Frannie & Freddies biggest money recipients. History books will paint a much kinder picture of Bush than the irrelavent MSM.

Heres a HILARIOUS article from today showing now just 50% of America prefer Obamao to BUSH.....oh how the mighty have fallen

:thumbsup:so true

[cannamanibus]

The media is a joke, kinda like news stations. Screw this dem. rep. crap. They should be voting to have 1 solution, not 2 solutions to the same problem, which would be american's being out of work. Their is no way we could legalize marijuana just through the people? I mean if we had like 30 million people vote on something, i think it should pass.

[yokinazu]

Whats a blue state anyway? Beats me. We have got to stop with this red/blue BS.....it keeps our nation stuck in shit. I refuse....absolutely refuse to believe that we ALL cant find a middle road to follow

amen brother! i been preachin this for a long time, oh and all green states sounds good to me

[Doc401]

Obama is as much a Politician as my DOG!! All i have to say about that..

hey without the network news these forums would be a barren and desolate place without the copy pasted news stories and regurgitated political commentary...lol, I mean, where would people get their opinions from if not Fox News?

:toilet_claw:

Is this serious? Applying fague critques of people based on their posts....specifically because you disagree with most if not all of their opinions? Like hey....those liberals are sappy idiots...it simply MUST be because they ALL watch MSNBC.

Anyone who still gets their news from one source is either 70 yrs old & up or mentally challenged & a retar. I must read 30 or 40 different websites,blogs, and news stations everyday.

It makes me chuckle smugly when I read someone "classify" people broadly as uninformed when they simply disagree with someones OPINONS. Thats what an extremist lunatic does, I dont care what side you claim to represent.

[boaz]

^ :D The Naked News Network. :pimp:

Wow is right, dude was making a joke about posting news articles IMO! Some people are too easily offended IMO, just go take a hit and remember it's all good...

Thats where I'm at man, its like South Park, why vote for a douche-bag or a turd sandwhich, when they are both just fighting the other side. Its like the dicision was who sucks less and won't fuck us over as much. I think someone should stand up and run in a completely different party, the American Party, and see how many people get their heads out of their asses.



I think the Politics section should be retitled as 'Image Reaper and Islandborns' section, lol.



Also, I like to get all my news information from Reaper and Islandborn, lol, its like a search engine for shit I actually would have interest in, just come here, and the most interesting posts will be talked about, works for me.

Amen, bro! I can't really remember the last time I voted "FOR" a candidate, always seems to become more of a vote "against" the other. :wtf:

[the image reaper]

whenever I see a news article of significance, whether on Fox, or CNN, etc., I always flip to the other sites, to get their opinions on it, I don't just blindly 'believe' anybody's propoganda :D ... my opinions may differ from others, but, that's generally after I attempt to research the issue ... I try to be 'Fair and Balanced' :D

and that's a good way to be,

but you know what they say about opinions..:D

Personally I think political commentary by the media is just a joke, people complaining things aren't going their way and trying to push agendas. All I need to hear is the facts and form my own opinion and don't promote either side of the pissing contest(or either side). In the end what will be left? i big puddle of piss that both sides are standing in. I will admit to taking the time to read articles from american thinker, whether I agree with them or not, intelligent conversation and writing/speaking is refreshing compared to some of these dunces pushing their Employers and their own agendas.

Thing is though the way media works, everyone is reporting on the same topics across the globe. Every forum with a Political sub forum all have identical posts. Opinions through all the news sources tend not to vary by much, kind of like how the Daily show does those short little segments of 30 people basically saying the same thing on every news network. 100 or 1,000 media sources don't make a difference to me. :thumbsup:

[Islandborn]

and from the DailyKos this morning

Public Option is dead....so is the goofy expansion of the already broke Medicare.......:pimp:

Daily Kos: Congratulations, Senate Dems!!! (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/12/14/814214/-Congratulations,-Senate-Dems)!!!

Its gonna be a bloodbath in the midterms.....the DEMS blew it.

[RedLocks]

Amen, bro! I can't really remember the last time I voted "FOR" a candidate, always seems to become more of a vote "against" the other. :wtf:
and that is some sad and true shit right there.. Should be an eye opener though I would think, because many probably hold sentiment that people vote for the guy they think is going to fuck things up the least. What does that say about the direction we are going. The day when Americans really wake up to reality, there will be extreme panic and a shortage of fire extinguishers suddenly.

All I was saying was that isnt it pretty narrow minded to say people you have a different opinon with simply must be ill informed because they watch Fox News and fox news alone? Sounds like an Obama pollster LMAO. What a cop out. Supporters are just getting nervous and have to assign blame somewhere for the once mighty Obama's many policy gaffes and political shortcomings.
