My sentiments exactly. Bush was mired in the high 20s by the end and Obama is at 53?

There are no two ways about it, there is no other way to candy coat this. The Barack Obama agenda was blown to smithereens, specifically defeated. So how can he have a 53% approval rating? Well, if a pollster asks a voter, "Do you approve of the job president's doing or not?" it makes perfect sense to me that voters would not want to encounter a pollster mad at them for disapproving Obama 'cause the pollster might say it's racist or whatever. The easiest thing to do is say, yeah.
But if you ask those people, "Do you approve of what Obama's done with health care," you'll get a truthful answer, "No, I don't." "Do approve of or do you support" and then name another Obama policy, and you'll get no, we're not in favor of this at all. We're not in favor of Obamacare. We're not favor of the stimulus package. You take the policy. Do you agree or disagree with Obama's use of executive order? No! We don't like it at all. You take him out of the question and people tell you the truth of what they think of his agenda. You put him in the question and it could well be that people will tell pollsters that they approve of Obama.
