After their first two months in office, who had a higher approval rating? Obama or Bush?

Think really hard now. The media will tell you how the Messiah and the sleeveless one are the best thing ever to happen to this country. They will show a bunch of deadbeats on TV like burger flipper Julio Osequedo creaming their pants at the sight of Hussein Obama. So you would think with how ‘evil’ George W. Bush was and how perfect the Messiah is, there would be no comparassion right? Think again. Douglas Schoen and Scott Rasmussen explain that Obama’s support has quickly declined to just his own party, and even that may be at risk:

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama’s high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that the opposite is most likely true. The American people are coming to express increasingly significant doubts about his initiatives, and most likely support a different agenda and different policies from those that the Obama administration has advanced.

Polling data show that Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama’s net presidential approval rating — which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve — is just six, his lowest rating to date.
