Gallup watch
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 12:17 PM by BzaDem
Today, 8/21/09:

Obama Approval 53 (+2)
Obama Disapproval 40 (-2)

www.gallup.com

Hopefully this is the start of a long bounce off of the 51% reading of the last 2 days.

2. At one point.......
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 12:42 PM by deep1
Raygun's was lower than 50, yet he is supposedly one of the 'greatest' presidents. So I wouldn't really consider those polls too much. Hey at least his points went back up. When Obama fights back, that is when they see polls start to rise again. Because of you repeat lies long enough idiots would start to believe it. People are sheep. And it's Obama's and the Democrat's responsibility to counter those attacks.


Obama support is still very strong, every single day I see at least three Obama stickers and I live in NC! Regardless, I doubt it will dip down below 50, because half the country will always strongly support him.

4. from: More Gloss for the Gipper
Reagan's average first year approval rating was 58 percent... (this was lower than Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon's, and Carter at the same point in their terms).

Reagan's approval rating at the end of his second year in office was 41 percent, with an average for that year of 44 percent...

Reagan's 52 percent average approval rating for his entire presidency...
