Obama More Unpopular Than Bush?

Obama is the worst thing to happen to this country since Carter. Despite the few Obama underlings that come onto Newsvine and run down anyone who dislikes him, I'm thankful that America is waking up. I have no doubt Americans will overwhelmingly, if not gladly, hand Obama, Pelosi, Reid and several other democracy and freedom haters their walking papers in 2010 and 2012.

I think you should wait until end of term to decide this. It's still a little early. Also, GW had a 90% rating because the country united after 9/11. Perhaps if Obama's administration neglects a memo such as "Al Qaeda wants to fly planes into building" then he will get a really high rating too. Of course, my last sentence is a little over the top but it fits the mood of this "article". I honestly can't tell if you are serious or sarcastic...

Also, the world economy was plunging well before Obama came into office and this is the worst economy a president has had to face in awhile. Of course he's going to have a lower rating. I personally oppose many of his policies and I'm not making an excuse but it seems fair to notice the difference in circumstances both Presidents faced and will face in their first year in office.

Your second source comes from an article titled "President Bush has set a record he'd presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll." The rating you ask? 28%

Your right Flubbercat, "the numbers don't lie". But it's fun to try and manipulate them to your own advantage. If Obama's rating hits below 28% by the end of his term then this type of article would make a lot more sense.

Your first source also shows that GW lowest approval at any time was 25% whereas BO's lowest is 50%.

Yeah, Bush was riding high on the aftermath of 9/11. The fact that this article omits that shows something. What it is yet, I'm unsure. At that point in time he could do no wrong. That's pretty much why he went unopposed to anything for so long. People were honest to goodness putting their job before the country, so they were voting to save their ass instead of voting their conscience. Thomas Ricks' book Fiasco had an admittance from one of them. The person in question later said it was his worst vote.

Is this person serious? I mean for real serious?
There's no way this can be serious, seriously.

We're going to pick one stat and compare to-date? Okay, here's one:

Number of terrorist attacks that killed over 3000 people by this point in Bush's presidency: 1
Number of terrorist attacks that killed over 3000 people by this point in Obama's presidency: 0

I guess Obama is 100% better than Bush.
