47%. A magic number.

You bet! Second that!!!

[jughandle]

The left hated Reagan with passion. Are they trying to tell us in a way they hate Obama also?

[afraidfortherepublic]

The only excuse I have for this is that Reagan achieved the pinnacle of his popularity AFTER he was out of office. In the 6th and 7th years of his term, he was being hounded by Iran Contra investigations.

I second the BS call. This guy’s approval has got to be closer to Carter’s. Even Dems are starting to hate him.

that’s an insult to Ronald Reagan’s shoes.
And He Who Shall Not Be Named should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentenced with the HERO

[Fungi]

The feckless fool on the hill does not deserve to be named in the same sentence with Ronald Reagan.

[ICE-FLYER]

Geeez...I would rather see an attempted comb-over than what he attempts with the hair in this photo!

[sport]

Bullshit!

[jazusamo]

That’s a good point but I don’t believe 0bama comes close to equaling Reagans popularity even with that.

[ilgipper]

Let’s compare electoral votes of the re-election and then the following election in 2016. I bet it’s not comparable.

Because of the Bull Market, 401-Ks and IRA’s have recovered.

Because of Low Interest Rates, People can borrow cheaply, whether we are talking New Cars or Houses.

Nobody cares that the National Debt is closing in on $20,000,000,000,000. They are not affected.

If the News Reports don’t focus on the numerous Obama Scandals and Illegal actions, they don’t exist.

Gas Prices fluctuate, and right now they are lower than they have been through most of Obama’s reign of terror.
What have you done for me lately comes to mind.

The simple truth of the matter is this.

Reagan was Popular DESPITE the Media that did everything they could do to DAMAGE his Presidency.

Obama is Popular BECAUSE the Media is doing everything they can do to PROMOTE his Presidency.

[EvilCapitalist]

Mainly the people who have their heads really far up their asses.

[bravo whiskey]

Dead cat bounce?

[jazusamo]

I think you nailed it.

[MeshugeMikey]

Stinking.....Dead Cat Bounce...

[jsanders2001]

Funny how just about all libs and homos always have “the look”. You can spot them in the crowd at 100 paces...

Gallup has had his rating below 40% in the past, so I tend to think this is fairly accurate. It's the 47%, basically - they are totally invested in this guy, probably voted for him twice...or more ;) Still, more disapprove than approve for what that is worth.
