I am excitedly waiting for the next round of Gallup presidential approval rating numbers.

1. What a life you must have.

[Mr Deltoid]

2. Why is that?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Yes why is that?

Explain your reasons please.

[Upton]

4. You do realize..

no president has ever been reelected with the kind of approval numbers Obama currently has...

[FarLeftFist]

5. Also no black president has ever been elected before. First time for everything.

Bush 1 at this point had a 70% approval rating and lost to Clinton, Reagan had a 46% approval and won a 2nd term.

[Logical]

6. The only hope we have is that the GOP will run some idiot like Perry. He will...

scare the hell out of the independents.

[FarLeftFist]

7. They will. I can almost guarantee it.

[Upton]

8. That's probably his only chance...

either Perry or the economy improving significantly in the next year...and the latter isn't happening.

[Vincardog]

13. That is what BO is counting on

[TheWraith]

12. Uh, they're not holding the election today.

And Clinton and Reagan both sank much further in their first terms than Obama has.

[Creideiki]

9. Try some fiber in your diet.

[Bluebear]

16. !

10. I am excitedly waiting for the next season of Dexter. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I see you shiver with antici ---

--- pation. But maybe the rain isn’t really to blame, so I’ll remove the cause but not the symptom.

[catabryna]

14. Such open-ended statements...

you leave readers to openly interpret your meaning. Brilliant.

[Recovered Repug]

15. I've heard that a person is easily excited when they

take those little blue pills. However, if it lasts over 4 hours you should see a doctor.

[Joe Fields]

20. lol

:toast:

[City Lights]

17. Awww, that's just swell.

I'm so happy for you. :-)

18. Here's a recent WaPo / ABC poll you can mull over while you wait for Gallup

Obama ratings sink to new lows as hope fades
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-ratings-sink-to-new-lows-as-hope-fades/2011/09/05/gIQAIytZ5J_story.html

More than 60 percent of those surveyed say they disapprove of the way the president is handling the economy and, what has become issue No. 1, the stagnant jobs situation. Just 43 percent now approve of the job he is doing overall, a new career low; 53 percent disapprove, a new high.

(snip)

Obama does, however, rate better than do congressional Republicans, his adversaries in recent, fierce confrontations on federal spending. Just 28 percent approve of the way Republicans in Congress are doing their job, and 68 percent disapprove, the worst spread for the GOP since summer 2008.
