Obama approval rating down to 59%
 

Via Rasmussen. It that bad? No, 59% is still pretty good. But just for fun, let's see where the Most Divisive and Worst President in American History was around this point in time:

ABC News/Wash Post Poll: 55%
Fox News: 55%
Gallup: 57%

Hmm, not too dissimilar. Who knew. But what about disapproval numbers? Obama is at 39%, that's good, right? What about America's Most Hated President ever? After stealing the election of 2000, Americans must have been really ticked off, right?

ABC News/Wash Post Poll: 23%
Fox News: 16%
Gallup: 25%

Hmmm.

There you have it, folks. Obama is officially the worst president ever. If his approval ratings should soar to near-record highs in September or so, this will confirm it.

Americans are coming down to earth, realizing that he is a slick-talking politician, just like the rest of them.

If he gets re-elected in 2012, I think we should call it the Second Coming.

And Cali will have his second orgasm of the century.

Was Rasmussen the lowest source you could find?

Gallup has 64% approval 22% disapproval; CBS News has 62% approval 15% disapproval, and Kos has 69% favorability 26% unfavorability.

Rasmussen is the one I've stuck with for most of the election season, for better or for worse. Sorry it doesn't fit the narrative you'd prefer.

PS. I believe approval/disapproval is different from favorability/unfavorability, so you can toss that Kos one for purposes of comparison.

lol

ha! Exactly.

Don't you see? "Obama" and "George" both have 5 letters. Obama's numbers will therefore exactly mimick Bush's.

It's an amusing irony that Bush had similar numbers to Obama, considering the very different circumstances under which they took office.

Drawing a direct comparison between the completed presidency of Bush and the infant presidency of Obama is for the pea-brained. Not surprised Cali would go there, but I'm a little disappointed in AA.
