Obama approval rating is 70%. Disapproval 25%....

[Hieronymus]

Bush's approval is 24%.

1. 24% is generous.

Even repugs I know are finally admitting..........

[Hieronymus]

3. I agree, but, as someone said, there's the 20 something percent ..

who'd follow him off a cliff.

[louis-t]

7. I wish they would. I know where there's some

gooood cliffs.

[WindRiverMan]

13. What do you mean "would"?

They did, and the took the rest of us to the brink right along with them.

2. How can anyone disapprove the performance of a president who hasn't taken office yet?

See, that 25% (the same 24% who still like Bush plus the 1% who don't like Bush because he's "too liberal") are unreachable through any known means. They are simply out to lunch.

4. You're looking for logic-- those people don't do logic...

:crazy:

[yardwork]

8. Totally out to lunch.

[ailsagirl]

12. TOTALLY-- it's scary

[fishwax]

17. I didn't wait for dubya to take office before I disapproved

[Left Is Write]

18. It's a favorability rating, not a performance rating, for Obama.

5. Probably the same goobers in that 24-25% 'backwash'

that both support Chimpolini and condemn Barack Obama before he's done anything yet. We should just accept that mid-twenties percentage as the 'cretin coefficient.'

[PM7nj]

6. So.. the very same people who love Bush hate Obama...

I think we can officially declare that about 25% of the country is crazy. Alan Keys got around 25% against Obama in the senate race, 24% of the country still supports Shrub, and 25% of the country disapproves of Obama even though he hasn't done anything yet.

[Clio the Leo]

9. And what's funny is that Bush has a 76% dissaproval rating....

... which means 6% of those polls are REALLY aggravated with things right now.

[BunkerHill24]

10. Just wait until Liberals and Progressives find out Obama's team

are advocating LIEberman be left alone and keep his chairmanship.....that would certainly ruin the "honeymoon", imo.

[AzNick]

16. Who cares about Lieberman?

He will die alone, with no friends. Sad.

[cliffordu]

11. The only place anyone objects to him already is right here in DU....

[NewJeffCT]

14. I thought Bush was at 20% last week?

Is this a popularity surge for him now?

[TheKentuckian]

15. Cirque du So-What, I love you term

cretin coefficient.

That is beyond perfect.
