“Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001…
Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president's performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.”
“Obama's initial job approval rating in January stood at 68 percent, second only to Kennedy's 72 percent among elected presidents since Gallup began tracking the rating during Eisenhower's administration.”
“Obama joins Clinton, however, as the only two elected presidents in Gallup's polling history to watch the balance of opinion become more negative as Americans see them in action through their first month.”
