Obama's First Retrospective Job Approval Rating Is 63%

This is from Feb 15th, so I don't know if it was posted already.

But Gallup released the results of a new poll on Obama's job approval, in retrospect, now that a bit of time has passed.

His job approval rating is now 63%.

Ahead of him are Kennedy (86%), Reagan (72%), George HW Bush (64%). George HW Bush?

George W Bush, ironically (who always seemed to want to outdo his father) is #8 on the list, below Jimmy Carter.
