For those of you that like polls

Obama polling lower than Bush was in same period in his Presidency.

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama's high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration.

Interesting read at the very least regardless of if you agree or not.

I notice the opinion piece conveniently doesn't mention Gallups numbers

Approve-62%

Disapprove-27%

RASMUSSEN is a reliable source as far as I am concerned. If anything, it should show that poll numbers do not mean all that much.

As also pointed out, Bush's poll numbers from the same time period after his election had him as an average of:

Approve: 57%
Disapprove: 24%
Unsure: 19%

This is pretty much parity with the numbers you so heavily tout for Obama. Polls this early do not mean much in my view, and never have.

Polls at this point don't mean squat.

If the economy turns around, the polls will soar. If it doesn't, it will sour. If there is another terrorist attack, the polls will go through the floor. If not, then all attention will still be focused on the economy.

and republicans still poll 10 times worse...so what?
When Obama can pull in polling in the 30's like Bush. then i will start to worry
