Barack Obama poll ratings fall below George Bush
Uk Telegraph ^ | 7-21-2009 | Alex Spillius in Washington

A USA Today/Gallup survey suggested that six months into his presidency, his popularity was lower than George W Bush's at the same stage of his tenure.

Amid rising unemployment and falling confidence in his economic plans, Mr Obama's job approval rating has dropped by nine points since January to 55 per cent, a point below his predecessor in mid-2001.

The title is from the main or front page of the UK Telegraph not the main page for the story. Still it looks like the honeymoon with the Kenyan-born marxist is eneding. We need to get this to Drudge.

Did anybody see the episode of the Office where Dwight talked about being able to raise and lower his cholesterol at will? The Obamessiah is like that. He is only lowering his poll numbers so he can raise them.

America... how do you like "Change" now? Important lesson: never accept nothing but a slogan, always ask questions and keep asking 'til you get a good answer. Another important lesson: "Politicians who have the nerve to promise the world to you, will also have the nerve to take the world from you." (And thats an original quote from me :)

I was just looking at Drudge and he has a poll that shows Obama is lower than Carter.

Hahahaha... can't vote present! Community organizers get paid just for showing up. Appears that abortion is not the only thing above his paygrade, apparently being President is as well.

This Presidency mirrors Clintons to a degree... but Bill Clinton knew when to stop... he eventually saw the writing on the wall and supported Welfare Reform, and then tried to claim it was his idea! Obama has Muslim roots... Muslims never back down, they never retreat, and so it is more than arrogance on his part... its part of his nature. I think hes going to make the Captain of the Titanic look like a genius before its all over.

It’s hard to b.s. people when they keep seeing their friends and family losing jobs and their own 401K’s keep sinking like rocks. Cigarettes went sky high as well. Cap and trade will no doubt bring riots in the streets.

Ofama doesn't deserve to shine GW's shoes.
Anyone with any sense realizes that.
Ofama is sinking fast.
Even some Dims are starting to realize the fakeness of this putrid so-called "administration".

What is an amazing revelation about this drop in the polls is the fact that obamma is in bed with all the main stream media daily, whereas Bush was constantly hounded and lied about from the day he won to the day he left office. If the MSM had criticized obamma even half as much as Bush, then obamma’s drop would have been a lot more than it is. The media is doing all it can to save obamma but the public is not listening to them as much.

But the SRM told me how “divisive” Bush was, and they haven’t said anything about Obama being MORE divisive! How could this be?

Didn’t see anyone wearing their BO T-shirts today, not even on the evening commute. Just six short months and people are looking pretty grim.

I hear you- same thing on the coast... what I "love" is how many of these Kool-Aid slurpers feel compelled to "buzz" my truck when they see the "OOPS!" bumper sticker-- tailgate, whip past, and cut in, then roar away.

Can we really compare these two presidents approval ratings?

The media hammered Bush relentlessly each and every hour since the election. In the alternative, the Media praised and worshiped the messiah Obama each and every hour since the election.

I suspect those faded Obama bumper stickers are being peeled off cars, too. On the other hand, on a highway today I saw a new pickup sporting McCain-Palin and other patriotic stickers. I wanted to catch up with him and give him a thumbs-up and ask him if his truck had been keyed yet.

These clueless fools would fight for a seat on the train to the gulag.

LOL! I go to a place like Panera Bread sometimes for lunch. You see a lot of people there on laptops and wireless who are probably unemployed or underemployed. One black guy had an O shirt on a few weeks ago but shirts are pretty much gone. The true believer leftists morons still have the bumper stickers but are thnning out slowly.

That’s my new bumper sticker. I have it on my older car, but not the new one. I don’t doubt that the libs would attack the messinger (my car) over that, if they actually understand it (which most probably don’t).
