Gallup: Obama job approval same as Bush's

Gallup reports that, despite widespread media efforts to pump up the volume, Barack Obama's approval numbers have dropped to, statistically, the same level as George W. Bush's at the same points in their presidencies.

Gallup latest daily tracking shows the Big O's approval rating at 57%, compared to 55% for George W. Bush in late June 2001--a statistical dead heat. O's disapproval stands at 35%, whereas Bush's disapproval was only 33%. Both Bush and Obama are well ahead of Bill Clinton's approval rating of 39%--with 50% disapproval--at a similar period.

So, despite fawning press coverage, Barack Obama's approval rating is virtually identical to George Bush's at similar points in their terms.

Conclusion? Despite the media volume, Obama's approval ratings are about average for this point in a presidency as Gallup's charts show.

What is amazing is that the media has been in all out "Too Big to Fail" mode since the Dem. Primary and the results are no differant.

Standby for the music. When you hear the flute, the lyre, the harp, and the cymbal, bow down before the image of Obama, or else it’s off to the furnace.

Think about it,immigration,cap and trade,card check,the car bailouts,not letting banks pay back loans,the stimulous package,health care.These are all made up by the administration.They LOVE chaos and crisis.None of these things are needed,they simply play on Americans fear and they say "WE HAVE TO PASS THIS OR THE COUNTRY IS DOOMED.JUST DONT READ THE BILL,THERE IS NO TIME TO EVEN READ THESE BILLS OR CONTEMPLATE THE COST".

I think Barry has run out of line with all this. The Repubs have found a few Dems who want to actually slow thing down.

Can't agree more. I spent the last week in the Dominican getting married. My brother in law lives in the Bronx and works in manhattan. He hates Barry...but no wonder, he's a small busniness owner.

My business straddles the Bronx/Yonkers border and I guess I have something in common with your BIL.

Obama doesn't give a shit about any haters.
Perhaps better efforts could be spent getting your own party together instead of whining. Then you might can win something.

We certainly will. Adding more seats to the Dem side is a foregone conclusion.

With the continued blatant lies that FAUX has been caught in over and over, it is safe to assume that NOBODY outside of whiners cares.

Really?Tell me did that gutless little liar ,Keith Olberman,applogise for claiming Palin plagerised a Newt Speech.Both Newt and Palin came out and said she credited him,so,as usual,that piece of crap little homo is caught in another pathetic lie,but just moves on to the next lie.

Once again,there is a reason FOX has 4 times te ratings that MSNBC has.They tell the truth,the other network wants to sucxk Obamas[him or his tranny wife] skinny little pud.

I think Barry is going to go into GWB territory early next year if things get worse and he keeps preaching about the need for more govt programs.
