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 hes in office, Obamas 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 doesnt set a record

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’!

You really should make that a weekly updated thread. Short sweet concise and an approval rate that is falling...

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.

I know a few nebbishy Republicans here in the DC area that acted, well, nebbishy last week, but most think he is full of it and has bad ideas.

Has our Republic become a larger version of Jonestown, or what?!?! Most Americans don't pay attention. They're not even drinking the kool aid...they're just asleep at the wheel.

And this sewer rat has an approval rating of 68%????
"Morning after" syndrome still hasn't hit. 68% of Americans think they banged the prom queen, when in reality, it's the bearded lady from the sideshow at the county fair. Just wait for the beer goggles to wear off.

Approval ratings are not connected to public support except tangentially. The entire concept is ludicrous - Gallup calls and asks you thing like "Are you happy with the way your job is going?" and such and bandies that about as an approval rating of the government.
