You are so coy , sweety. Why dont you just say it. Polls are really important to you, no?

O is at the bottom this list:
Historical rankings of United States Presidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
O hasnt been around long enough to rated properly . Your hero had 8 years to be rated the worst.

Good idea. Im going to do a poll to let me know if I should do that.

Just be prepared to alter or throw out any undesirable outcome.

I was planning on asking the question in a certain way to get the answer I want. Like, should I only listen to polls that I agree with, or club baby seals? 99% said I should do the first. 1% was a bit twisted.

two presidents who also inherited disasters. interesting.

Hey Slick, weren’t you one of the ones whining about how Rasmussen’s findings must not be accurate? Weren’t you saying that we’ll surely want this administration for more than 8 years?;

It sure looks that way. I figured you’d be interested in a poll from yet another respected pollster that showed similar results. BTW, what’s a blank entry on a web site that anyone with internet access can change supposed to prove?

Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, both one term presidents.

I misread the article, it was W and Clinton. Carter and Bush 41 both had approvals in the 60's at this point.

Polls can affect president's hold on party - USATODAY.com

Well, let's take a look at how the numbers have progressed since the thread started and all the fawning Obamaphiles instantly tried to minimize the Rassmussen numbers as an "outlier" (when they weren't stupidly bringing Fox into the discussion per their normal pathological hatred of that news organization).

Latest numbers from major pollsters:

Rassmusesen: Jul 25-27, 1,500 likely voters - 49%
Zogby: Jun 12-18, 3,728 likely voters - 49%
NPR: Jun 22-26, 850 likely voters - 53%
Gallup: July 25-27, 1,547 adults - 54%

Now, let me start by acknowledging that Zogby's numbers are over a month old, but they are based on the largest sampling of likely voters, and nobody I think can reasonably make the case that Obama's numbers overall have improved in the last month, most show a downward decline. Furthermore, taken chronologically, it preceeded the Rassmussen numbers which make those look less like an outlyer and more of an ahead of the curve reflection of what the numbers are really doing than the polls with higher approval ratings.

Since the thread started, Rassmussen's numbers have held relatively steady, and Gallup has dropped.

If I were a betting man, I would guess that the aggregate number in a week will look a whole lot closer to Rassmussen and Zogby than Gallup and NPR.
