And so I found this:

Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating is 47% in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update, a new low for his administration to date. His approval rating has been below 50% for much of the time since mid-November, but briefly rose to 52% last week after he announced his new Afghanistan policy.

Yeah, I doubt it really rose at ALL last week. I wonder how this rating compares to other presidents - real ones - at this time in their tenure.

Thanks, Jen! wink

Here's a follow-up. Robert Gibbs is whining about Gallup's accuracy. And the article answers Alex's question...

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs slammed Gallup's daily tracking poll on Tuesday after it showed President Obama's approval rating had fallen to 47 percent, the lowest approval rating for any president at this stage of his presidency dating back to President Harry S Truman.

"If I was a heart patient and Gallup was my EKG, I'd visit my doctor," Gibbs said in the morning, off-camera briefing with reporters. "Five days ago there was an eleven-point spread. Now there is a one-point spread. I’m sure a six-year-old with a Crayon could do something not unlike that."

ibbs reference to an "eleven-point spread" between Obama's approval and disapproval rating "five days ago" cannot be found in Gallup’s data. In a Nov 30-Dec. 2 survey, Gallup found Obama's approval at 51 percent and his disapproval at 42 percent. A Nov. 27-29 survey found the ratio to be 51 percent approval to 41 percent disapproval.

"the lowest approval rating for any president at this stage of his presidency dating back to President Harry S Truman."

and remember, Truman had bombed a country at this point, and Truman still beats the illegemate marxist in the WH.

Good news and even better that his poll numbers continue to dip. Humm so much for everyone loving Barack. Please seems like a new TV show "Everyone Hates Barack"
