Just curious..We were treated to W's approval numbers on an almost hourly basis, but I haven't seen ears approval numbers in a few days. Last I heard is was around 55% or so..have they fallen so far that the media will now NOT report on it?

Yeah, but if “ear’s” approval rating is low, it’s certainly because of GWBush, doncha’ think? C’mon!

Rasmussen has him at 62%

BS. My guess is Obama is down in the high 40’s. Reid & Pelosi’s Congress must have gone below their recent 9%.

I wonder if America is going in the “right direction” yet. I haven’t seen any polls on that.

I heard on Rushs show it is 17 pct, 13 pct under President Bush, wow what change

I think I read that pollsters having worked so hard and performed such a valuable service to the nation over the past 8 years have decided to take the next 4-8 years off for a much needed vacation.

The Messiah's best day in office maybe behind him - it was in all probability his inauguration day.

Rush might have been referring to Rasmussen's approval index. It's the difference between those who “strongly approve” and those who “strongly disapprove” Today it's +18. His total approval rating is 62% Compared to 36% disapproval.

Last that I heard was last week on a Morning Radio show. "One week after his inauguration, Obama's approval rating had dropped 15%".

"But from what to what?!!", I hollered at the radio. Unfortunately, the talking head didn't hear me. :-) Might have conveniently left the number out, or mught just be dumb. Or....quite possibly could be both. I'm not ruling that out just yet.

I think Rasmussen is full of BS. I, like most of my acquaints, feel it is below 50% and dropping like a stone. Only the hard core and the Hollywierd jokers are still in the cult fellowship.

One thing is for sure, it's just going to keep falling, unlike how Bush started out at 50% and rose to 90% after 9/11. Obama will NEVER see 90%.
