That is complete BS. Bush left the white house with the lowest Approval Rating in history. No one cares at this point that he had the highest approval rating history after 9/11. We all know what a failure he was as President.

We are all aware of your opinion on Bush. Bush biggest mistake was spending, now Obama is spending even more in only 1 month on the job.

Of the top 10 worst Presidents, Bush is ranked #9 already. Enough said.

You don't think that has a lot to do with the timing of the poll?

But Bush is not the president anymore, most republicans would tell you they were not pleased with him. Obama is president now, Obama is continuing some of the same things the left criticized Bush for......spending and lack of transparency. Now tell me are you happy with what Obama has done thus far?

your boy is well on his way to beat Bush. a few tax increases and more liberty grabs and he'll be way behind.

Thanks for proving again your reading comprehension deficit.

After one month in office, Bush had a 62% approval rating.

At the rate Obama is falling, he will be down there with his cronies Nancy and Harry, way lower than how Bush finished, by July 4th, minimum.

and that poll is clearly one of the stupidest ever.

I would bet that poll has Joe Stalin in the top five best, oh wait, he was only VP, FDR was the pres, my bad, carry on, I'll be in the area all day!!



PS; if I don't keel over dead or win the lottery.

Why the obsession with this man? He is history, when you compare the two as failures honestly looks like you are conceding that Obama is not doing well..... but at least he isn't as bad as Bush, yet. This just makes no sense, you bash Bush (and in many cases he deserves it) but it is over, now we all have to deal with Obama, and by accounts of most objective thinkers he has started horribly.

Here's something a little more detailed that addresses you concerns.

The White House - Press Office - Remarks by the Vice President at the first Recovery Plan Implementation meeting

I think this sight is representative of prevailing wisdom,other that a Football board that just happens to have a political forum.

right. the only ones that matter are the ones for a guy who's finished after eight years in office and the ones one month into the new gig for the other guy.

Riddle me this: what would have happened to Bush's job approval rating had he shoved this recent spate of enormous spending down our throats?

 

[Chemvol]

are you struggling to understand the chart?

I'm with you, BPV.

The Bush time period being compared...

Almost exactly eight years ago, then newly-elected President Bush's numbers were 62 percent approving his performance, 21 percent disapproving, and 17 percent having no opinion (scroll about 3/4 down this Polling Report link [2]).

 

[BigPapaVol]

I'm with you, BPV.

not to mention that Bush's numbers were like that after an absurdly contentious election conclusion and breathless wait for the winner. The rancor there had to hurt Bush's rankings as some of the 'don't care' crowd had to view his ascendancy as less than democratic.

 

[gsvol]

If anything that shows how dumb the public is on political matters.

Who had the lowest ranking?? Who was the best president??

Who had the highest ranking?? Who was the worst president??

Bush: 34% approval rating (1/16/09)
Obama: 63% approval rating (2/23/09)

If the economy continues to tank despite Obama's "fixes", I think these numbers might be a little closer.

he'll get a pass on the economy for a long while, but enormous spending and backdoor federal healthcare will crush his popularity. He's headed to Clinton territory.

He'll get a lot of mileage out of blaming W. I don't think he'll fall down to that Bush 34% level, but he won't stay at 63% either. I think it depends on how much his "fixes" exacerbate the current problem.
