But the most recent Gallup poll shows Obama at 63% approval. Did the Wash Times mean Rasmussen, which currently has him at 56%?

…pollster.com, which does a moving average of polls, has Obama at 62.2% currently. Looking at the article you linked to, that seems about average. Carter, Nixon, and Bush (43) were in the 61-63 range – Reagan higher, Bush 41 and Clinton lower. So this is probably somewhat of an outlier.

for the day the polls shoiw his approve percentage is lower than his dissaprove percentage.
He will be ableto milk the pandemic restrictions for a while to on slower recession recovery now since it is starting to get to far into his Presidency to continue to blame inheritence. That will slow down his decline in the polls.

Obama rode into the White House purely because of Bush’s unpopularity, and Obama still has a lot of “goodwill” from Americans because he just started the job. Americans also have their head in the sand about how bad the situation is, they have a false sense of hope (fueled by the MSM) that things are going to be “back to normal” in a few months by their new super awesome President.

Eventually however, Obama is going to have to take complete responsibility of the current economic situation, good or bad. He won’t be able to ride on Bush any longer.

Approval numbers can turn on a dime, Americans are very fickle. Bush had over 90% approval numbers at one point, only to leave office with a 35% approval rating.

The MSM has built up Obama to be such a savior, I think it’s inevitable he’ll be a failure. This economy is not going to bounce back anytime soon, and Obama’s policies will only prolong the pain.

I’m amazed that Bush had higher numbers at this point in his Presidency despite losing the popular vote in a very contentious election that had a lot of raw feelings.

With all the MSM is doing for Obama, this is as high as he can go. I bet Obama’s numbers will be in the 40′s by August.

of whistling past the graveyard to me. You can pick out one poll where he’s below 60 and hang your hat on it, but for the most part polls show him to be very popular. Would Specter have jumped ship today if there were indications Barak is still not riding high in approval ratings? Would Democrats be on cruise control in passing his agenda if he weren’t high in approval ratings? Would Republicans in Congress be cowering in the corner if he weren’t high in approval ratings? (Well, scratch that one, they probably still would be.)

I think it’s deplorable. I don’t like living in a country where Barak is popular. But he is, and he will stay there, with a sycophantic media and a Republican party that can’t market itself and seems afraid of what it stands for.

… we get that. But if credibility means anything, start with the right data.

Gallup — as others have noted — has Obama at 63%, second only (at this point in his presidency) to Carter at 69%. Americans give him a 66% rating for bi-partisanship efforts, and a 71% confidence rating for his economic efforts.

Sure, you can find other polls, but the lead post and the Washington Times site Gallup – incorrectly. When you only get your “news” from institutions w/ an agenda, you just might not know what’s really going on around you.

Aside from the fact that it cites an incorrect poll. What is the point of the talking point that Obama’s approval ratings with Nixon/Ford/Carter/Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush aside from that Obama’s not the bipartisan savior his opponents say his supporters claims he is?

A 60 percent approval rating for a president is higher than anything this country has seen since 2003. That is significant and is really the only number I imagine the public cares about.

from last week has him at 62% approval, asking the question as straightforward as possible: “Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president?”

This seems much more direct than Gallup’s choices of Excellent, Good, Just Okay, Poor, Terrible, and No Opinion. How are we supposed to count “Just Okay” which got 23%? The 56% cited is only the total of Excellent (23%) and Good (33%). I think the poll has two many choices to compare it to other polls.

Obama’s numbers in the Gallup poll are higher than George Bush 58%, Bill Clinton 55%, and GW Bush 56%. Only Ronald Reagan had higher numbers 67% in the past thirty years for the first One Hundred days.

I heard there is a new WSJ/NBC poll. I won’t watch the Obama News Network on a full stomach, so I am curious if any of you know the results.

is Americans; regardless of party affiliation, still can’t see what Obama and the rest of his posse are running towards government controlled banks and they are not even trying to hide the facts. When banks are not able to pay back loans because they don’t pass Obama’s “stress test” it only means one thing. He wants the stocks to go common so he has control of the banks and that is a scary thing. People better wake up and take a good look at what they voted for because change is coming and it is not going to be for the better. This is just the beginning.
