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:

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.

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:

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

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.
