Obama has 3rd worst approval ratings since WWII
I have seen liberals on the internet defend Obama’s poor numbers as still better than when Bush left office. Talk about apples and orangutans. Here is an apples-to-apples analysis:
Slipping below 50% before November of the first year in office would represent “the third-fastest drop” since World War II, Gallup reports. Republican Gerald Ford slipped below 50% in his third month as president, Democrat Bill Clinton during his fourth month.
It took Republican President Eisenhower five years to fall below 50% in the public’s eye, Gallup notes. It took both Republican George Bushes about three years. It took Democrat Lyndon Johnson and Republican Richard Nixon more than two years. (Hotair.com)
That’s right. The incompetent, bumbling, illiterate George W. Bush took 3 years to drop below 50% approval, while Obama is on pace for 7 or 8 months. Yes, you can argue that any President will look good right after an attack on this country where they do anything in retaliation, but don’t go around bragging about Obama’s great poll numbers. Bush had a terrorist attack on this nation, and could have handled it in a way that would have been devastating to America’s opinion of him, but he excelled. Obama has an economic disaster on his hands, and he is failing miserably.
Obama’s poll numbers are tanking, faster than any President since the second world war except Clinton and Ford.
