Politico has a report out.
The Gallup Poll on Saturday released the first job-approval rating for President Obama, based on interviews during his first three full days in office: 68 percent.
Now that he’s in office, Obama’s approval ratings are starting to normalize, as partisan back-and-forth picks up. Just a week ago, Gallup found an astonishing 83 percent approval of how he has handled his transition, showing he had even won over most Republicans.
Let’s see, (83-68)/83 > 0.18. so shouldn’t headlines be blaring:

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 6:08PM EST (link)Can the day be far away for a -1% approval rating ?
After all, he’s only about change, so let’s grant a big ol’ ‘delta’ on math standards too.
Just wait
jfpurdue01 (Diary) Sunday, January 25th at 2:28AM EST (link)When the average American finds out about this extra $850 Billion, his approval ratings will drop even more. He won’t make it out of his first 100 days without an approval rating dropping below 50%.
P.S. I saw on Fox someone said that they aren’t too far from approaching the figure where they could have forgone the bailouts and instead just cancelled the federal income tax for the year! Wow.
18% is 22% of 83%
