Our thanks for Newsbusters’ Noel Sheppard for this one.

According to the results of the latest Gallup poll, George Bush had a higher approval rating after one month in office than Barack Obama.

“For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama’s presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21,” the poll revealed, “fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president…59% of Americans give Obama a positive review….”

In a similar poll conducted a month after President Bush’s first inauguration, his approval rating was 62%...

Since the Media inflates any good news pertaining to The One (piss be upon him), we can safely assume the favorable numbers are even lower than Gallup-Obama is reporting.

Wonder when the One’s numbers are going to dip below Congress’ approval numbers.

Probably because he a malignant narcissist, he couldn't help himself from setting expectations too high. Now the time has come to deliver on them.

I expect his approval ratings to continue to slide until the end of his "messiahship" in 2012.

Sorry.....this means nothing. Comparing Presidents one month into office mean very little!

The "FACT" is BHO is very popular. The "FACT" is the GOP is very UNPOPULAR. Why are those two FACTS indeed FACTS?

The DEMS control CONGRESS and the POTUS is a DEM.

The GOP is ineffective in countering any program the DEMS come up with and with the MSM on the majority's side it is and always will be an uphill battle for the GOP to get it's message heard.

UNLESS or until we have an EFFECTIVE communicator, a la Ronald Reagan, we will serve in the minority for years to come.

Fundamental change in our way of life is almost here and at the end of BHO's 1st term it will be entrenched. The only question is will it be fascism or socialism?

"The One (piss be upon him)"

every time i read a post from you, you refer to the anointed messiah with this phrase. you must not hold him in high regard. ;^)

“..George Bush had a higher approval rating after one month in office than Barack Obama.”

So what? Dictators and their minions don’t care about their popularity. Did you ever see Stalin, Hitler or Castro worry if they are liked or not?

According to The Messiah, the sky is falling, but perhaps that was to distract us from the fact that his own approval ratings are falling as he’s digging us deeper!!

Does this mean that Bush is more popular than Jesus?
