I would certainly hope it gets lower. I'm pretty sure he has done pretty much the opposite of most of his campaign promises.

What was GM's catch phrase a while back? "Like a rock?" Kinda fitting.

As far as presidential approval ratings go, he has been pretty steady after the initial euphoria wore off.

Frankly, it's a miracle (more like the MSM) that he's not below 40 by now.

Below 40 seems like the magic number

Who cares anyway about approval numbers? He's never going to have another election.

This is where presidents get to do what they want. They can screw their party and supporters. it's going to get interesting.

fake parallel since that goes to the end of Bush's run and Obama now is where bush was in April, 2005. In other words, roughly at the same place, and everyone knew Bush was a lame duck then. I don't think he got anything major through until Tarp, after that.

Not necessarily, just as Bush couldn't push Social Security through. Or immigration. An unpopular president offers no protection to party members who follow his lead.

It is just today's data point, of course, but it is encouraging.

There was no Presidential Election last time... although the government controlled news media led you to believe it..

The Fix was in far beyond, the last Presidential election... Just pray, you could ever have access to the drugs Obama/Holder/Bush are on .... cause them dudes locking you up for taking stuff that might be theirs .. not to mention John Sydney McCain... who probably destroyed more planes than Pearl Harbor ... and Twinkle Toes Lyndsey Graham...

Congress has a 0 percent rating... yet those eating Monsanto processed brain altering chit... continue to kill their kids with it... Those are the same kids who hate Congress, but refuse to change it...

Figure it out... It is our fault !!!!!! We who don't fight this blight ... are at fault...

Apparently Obama is only popular when he gets elected when the media concentrates on these sort of things.
