Obama is back at 59% approval. The +12% Presidential Approval Index is about as low as he's been so far. He's been at 11% before IIRC.

“Fifty percent (50%) say the President is doing a good or an excellent job on economic issues.”

In other news, 50% of Americans have resorted to buying flips flops. Those shoelace-thingies are just too darn hard to figure out.

At this rate, he will envy JEC’s and GWB’s approval rating. The question will be if the GOP can capitalize on it

Ideologically, 69% of liberals Strongly Approve along with 46% of political moderates and 13% of conservatives.

God help us if 13% of conservatives think this guy is doing a wonderful job.

One month after Inauguration Day, the President gets much stronger reviews from non-investors than investors.

Translation: Barry's boys from the 'hood waitin' on their handout like him much better than those trying to scratch out a living by working.

“anticipointment”

a gut wrenching emotion felt deep in the belly of a person unrealistically looking forward to an upcoming event immediately after the reality of extreme disapointment has replaced the anticipated happiness

“anticipointment” :

The state of mind resulting from excitedly anticipating a strongly promoted product, event, film, etc, and then being disappointed when it fails to meet the expectations generated by this promotion.

I can't believe he's this high. Inflation's up, the market is tanking, and now he's defensively talking about how he won't tolerate "waste".

The media will put lipstick on any pig, as long as he's a Diversity Commie. IMO.

After waiting and praying for a long time, today I moved a substantial sum from a money market fund to cash. I have no confidence that this Administration or Congress has the capability of doing anything positive to effect the market.

Overall, 59% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance

So does that include a "fair" evaluation because I can remember under George W. "fair" was always counted on the negative side. Which was the opposite of how "fair" was calculated under Bill Clinton.

Among those with money in the market, 33% Strongly Approve while 29% Strongly Disapprove.

Is that the same 33% of investors who are crackheads?

If the economy does not pick up this summer, the numbers will show continued gradual erosion. Once is redistribution & energy tax policies take their full effect, he’ll make George W. Bush look popular. The problem is I don’t see that happening before November 2010.

In other news wishful thinking and refusal to see the obvious are still quite common in America.
