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.
The new job-approval figure puts him at the upper end of opening poll numbers for presidents, but doesn’t set a record

W’S TRANSITION TEAM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS...PROBLY WON’T GET ANY RECOGNITION THOUGH, EH???
1.) Set free islamic terrorists from their prison cells.
2.) Murder unborn babies by any means necessary.
3.) Make veiled threats at Rush Limbaugh and other folks who question his policies.
4.) Stop all plans to drill for oil offshore.
5.) Freeze any ideas for tax-cuts.
6.) Propose giving taxpayer dollars to people who don't even pay taxes.
And this sewer rat has an approval rating of 68%????
Has our Republic become a larger version of Jonestown, or what?!?!
Until Inauguration Day, Obama was President of the United States of Imagination. You can never live up to that in the Real World.
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
Everything looks WORSE in black and white

Article at Gallup:
Obama Starts With 68% Job Approval
http://www.gallup.com/poll/113962/Obama-Starts-Job-Approval.aspx
Obama unilaterally disarms us in the War on Terror, and 68% approve, only 12% disapprove, and 21% have no opinion.
The only explanation is that everyone has gone insane and only 12% somehow have immunity to this obamanitis, a new, dangerous, and contagious disease.
He’s not know as Zero for nothing. His pol numbers will soon tank. Just watch.
If he goes out and actually performs abortions he’ll go to 90%!
Let’s open up some betting lines.
Time till the approval ratings drop below the equator: Over/Under 6 months
Time till he plays the race card to explain his approval ratings: Over/Under 1 year
Rush needs to invite Zero to call in like Pres. Bush and VP Cheney. I bet he will never do it. He couldn’t go up against Rush and win.

When you look at these polls, keep in mind the recent ‘man on the street interviews’(ala Howard Stern), in which the interviewees were asked if they thought Marion Barry had been a good choice for Secretary of State and all said yes!
President's approval ratings starting to normalize
Ugly Specter Of Racism Back?
White House urges American conservatives: "Dump Rush"
Drops 15 points in 5 days? heh
Lies and more lies. He wasn’t responsible for the transition(he was too busy creating his own mini government).
It was W’s team who were most responsible for the easy transition (into hell, I might add).
If he's the malignant narcissist many (including me) think he is, the (any) negative ratings are really gonna p!ss him off.
Baloney. Every Republican I know despiseSOBama.
Has our Republic become a larger version of Jonestown, or what?!?!

Kool-aid is being prepared in cement mixer trucks, vast quantities will be needed.
And you can bet that they’re juicing the books!!!
“If he’s the malignant narcissist many (including me) think he is, the (any) negative ratings are really gonna p!ss him off.
Yup, that. Or he’ll find a way to blame W.
After he wipes the sweat of work off of his brow in the Oval Office my guesstimation is it will be less than 50%
So far I'll still stick to my 2/3 of Americans are brain dead. Hopefully as this nitwit empty suit progresses the balance will shift, but I still feel that a fool will never change because the years of brain washing.
I doubt the Dalai Bama’s approval ratings can fall below 40%, due to there being at LEAST that many black racists, white guilt lunatics, Marxists, Unionists, civil servants, welfare leaches and just plain dumb asses in America.....
1% per day drop.
At this rate, in just a little over 2 months, Michelle will be the only person on the planet who supports Dumbo. The next day, poof, she's on GMA saying that "This isn't the Barack I knew and loved"...
Can someone please explain to me how smeone gets an 86% approval rating for a job they haven’t even started yet?
Years of brainwashing by the DBM and decades of teaching in the cesspools we call public schools.
0% in my books.
And the AP has a story up right now claiming that Obama “avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands” in his first week in office. A laugh, until you realize that McCain and Graham are giving him the cover he needs by pretending to speak for the GOP when they agree with closing Gitmo and other Obama farces.
Sure. He flashes his pasty, scrawny chest and the media swoons and tells us we should do the same. The unthinking sheep think if they’re saying he’s good on the TV, it must be true.
And by “do the same,” I mean they think we should swoon for him. Not flash our pasty, scrawny chests. Heh.
They thought they were voting for American Idol.
The beauty of the pre-Inaugural 83% approval is that it eliminates any credible use of race. Not that he won’t try.
Brilliant!
Just wait until Vice President Joe Blooper mouths off some more! People will start to wonder, “Why did The Dear Leader pick this guy? He’s a total doofus!”
AP / Gallup LIES!
They did not poll me.
Obozo is a ZERO. (Actually a Negative 100)
Mass Psychogenic Illness
/bingo
You left out refusing to answer reporters questions
He'll be down to President Bush's levels.
7.) Spend $1 TRILLION on totally useless pork barrel projects to buy democrat votes from here to eternity
8.) Play some more childish neaner-neaner — “I am the President. Get over it.”
9.) Don’t be bothered reading my own Executive Orders. Ask Greg Craig what they mean during press conferences.
When I was in school, a 68 got you a big red “F” and most likely a whippin’!
FAILURE
Yes , it has
I predict the USA will crash bigtime soon

You really should make that a weekly updated thread. Short sweet concise and an approval rate that is falling...
68%....welllll, isn’t that special!
It could be all downhill from there. (I hope!)
Bingo! I was just thinking about that yesterday - I consider all such polls now a dissenter/counterrevolutionary citizen list building tools.
I’m thinking about starting one of my own as well - traitors list.
I know B.S. when I smell it. And 83% is B.S. if there ever way some. How would that many people approve of a guy who had yet to even take office or actually accomplish anything?
Why did he only get 52% of the vote and yet 70s and 80%s of the public ‘approves’ of him?? Something doesn’t sound kosher and it’s probably the rotting pork waiting in the hallways of the NYT and the House Office buildings.
Obama = Col Henry Blake
Greg Craig = Cpl O’Reilley
Just sign it cur !
