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.

Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and even Richard Nixon all had higher approval ratings 10-and-a-half months into their presidencies. Obama's immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, had an approval rating of 86 percent, or 39 points higher than Obama at this stage. Bush's support came shortly after he launched the war in Afghanistan in response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

It was only a matter of time...

Yes...have you checked FDR's approval rating in the days following Pearl Harbor. I guess it will take another terrorist attack to get the republicans to rally round the president, much as liberals did when Bush launched the war in Afghanistan. Oddly...the war in Afghanistan is one of the reasons that Obama's ratings are lower...I wonder why Bush didn't finish the job there?

Liberal revisionist history rewrote him as a great president. The fact is and reflects in the polling at the time is he was not.

Quit trying to deflect the facts and making excuses. FYI: Obamas ratings were plummeting since he got in office.

Look for yourself...

Maybe the rapid decline was due to Obama's many, many successes...like Cash for Clunkers? :blink:
