fourty-nine percent?

look at the trend line.

[LBJefferies]

Haha that poll is the biggest joke I have ever seen. Does anybody actually take that shit seriously?

I think humanity is headed in the wrong direction.

[E30Kaiser]

So 49% approve what Obama is doing?

[mar1t1me]

He has a ways to go before he approaches the 17% of 10/08. Who was in office then? Must have been a Democrat.

[lennon]

well i can see the graph, and i read the whole poll results pdf. there is a point plotted on that graph at 49%, but it was 2 years ago, and i was just wondering why he titled the thread "49%". no big deal...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Overall, please tell me whether you approve, disapprove, or neither approve nor
disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president.
[IF “APPROVE,” ASK:] Is that strongly approve or somewhat approve?
[IF “DISAPPROVE,” ASK:] Is that strongly disapprove or somewhat disapprove?
[IF “NEITHER,” ASK:] If you had to choose, do you lean more toward approving or
disapproving of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president?

Date Total Approval
4/7-12/10 - 49%
3/3-8/10 - 53%
1/12-17/10 - 56%
12/10-14/09 - 56%
11/5-9/09 - 54%
10/1-5/09 - 56%
9/3-8/09 - 50%
7/16-20/09 - 55%
5/28-6/1/09 - 64%
4/16-20/09 - 64%
2/12-17/09 - 67%
1/9-14/09* - 74%
12/3-8/08* - 73%

Total Disapproval for periods above (in %) from most recent to oldest; 50 46 42 42 43 39 49 42 32 30 24 15 14

Looks pretty straightforward to me.

After reading about the methodology of the polling process combined with the fact that many if not most people think they have a clue, I am inclined to view public poll results with circumspection.

[87e30]

It always seems like things were better in the past...

Overall all, we have it pretty good here.

[e30e]

Didn't Regan in 82 have the same percentage and Clinton in 94?

Obama sucks but this thread is stupid.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm simply highlighting the fact that his shiny image looks like time is giving it some tarnish.
