Given the alarming levels of pseudo-religious fervor that accompanied Obama into office, I would fully expect the strongly approves would remain rock steady for a long period of time, regardless of actual performance. |
Really? You did note, didn't you, that Obama's "strongly approve" and "strongly disapprove" numbers didn't start at zero on day one, right? Do you think all public opinion for approval/disapproval starts at a baseline of zero upon any politician taking office? Did Obama just have such a remarkable first few minutes that his "strongly approve" numbers immediately jumped over 50 points?
Amusing.
