That's 9 points higher than Reagan was at this point in his presidency.

RCP Average (5/15-5/25): Approve: 46.9, Disapprove: 46.6

In spite of what Scott Rasmussen says.

You're neglecting the fact that Reagan's policies led to a growing economy and real job creation - which then caused his approval level to increase.

Obama's policies are dampening economic and job growth. Hence, there won't be similar drivers to improve his approval levels.

Well that would be a good point, if any of it were true, but since the historical data actually directly contradicts your premise, it's really not much of a point at all.

According to the actual data, an unemployment comparison between this point in Reagan's presidency, and this point in Obama's presidency, is favorable to Obama NOT Reagan.
 
I'm not talking about at the similar point. Reagan's approval levels headed higher because his policies were successful. It's highly unlikely that Obama's will emulate Reagan's because his policies are damaging the economy.

You're neglecting the fact that Reagan's policies lead to huge budget deficits.

Reagan cutting taxes was one of the best things any President ever did for the citizens of this country.

If Reagan had had a Newt Gingrinch Congress, the united states would have established a budget that couldve set the united states up for life.


However we must cut spending in social security and in the miltary and in foreign aid. And keep taxes low.

Formula for success. :eusa_angel:

If Obama "emulates" Reagan, Unemployment will continue to RISE for the next year before finally going down.

The unemployment rate has already leveled out, and more jobs are already being created, showing a trend towards going down.

Reagan's recovery took 2 1/2 YEARS. Obama's seems to be in full swing now 1 1/3 years into his presidency.

I DON'T believe it for one second.

Where? At his Fundraiser? His appointees? :D

Reagan didn't have a "Newt Gingrich congress", because the debt issue was non-existent until after REAGAN RAN UP THE DEBT.

The deficit-reduction tendency of the Gingrich congress only came into being as a response to the giant debt Reagan built up.
 
B'loney. SS and Medicare have been snowballing for years. Combine this with demographic changes which increase the ratio of elderly to taxpayers, and we have a growing structural deficit - no matter who is president.
 
Notice that the closest result to Rasmussen's outlier poll is FoxNews, and they're 12 Points away.

Far outside the margin of error.

RCP Average.............Approve: 46.9, Disapprove: 46.6, Spread: +0.3
Gallup.......................47, 45, +2
Rasmussen Reports.....43, 56, -13
CBS News.................47, 43, +4
Quinnipiac.................48, 43, +5
CNN..........................51, 46, +5
FOX News.................45, 46, -1
Democracy Corps........47, 47, Tie

Social Security was not an issue, in relation to the deficit, in the 80's. The number of elderly relative to taxpayers was nowhere near what it is now.

That is the reason for a good portion of the Bush and Obama deficits, not Reagan's.

And it's 24 points higher than Obama's approval at this time in his subversive regime.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday (May 26, 2010) shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22. That&#8217;s the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for this president (see trends).

Po widdle Pube.:( Well you only have to put up with President Obama for 6 and 1/2 more years, then you can whine, piss, and moan about the next Democratic President.:lol:
 
Especially the "next Democratic President" clause...:lol:

But hey, the neo-cons thought they would have GOP neo Pres's for decades to come, and their myopic arrogance cost them.

Let's watch the Dem's fate crumble. :D

Ahh, Rasmussen again.

With a spread that's only 13 POINTS out of the margin of error from every other poll, including FoxNews.

You guys really do live in a little Bizarro-World bubble all your own, don't you?
