![]() (BTW, I had to copy and paste the article here because the direct link has a 404 error - imagine that? Obama housecleaning again, I'm sure )Gallup Poll: Drop in Obama’s Approval Rating One Of The Largest In Decades Flopping Aces ^ | 10-21-09 | Curt Posted on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 10:49:11 PM by Starman417 Ba-Bam! In fact, the 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953. One president who was not elected to his first term — Harry Truman — had a 13-point drop between his second and third quarters in office in 1945 and 1946 ~~~ More generally, Obama’s 9-point slide between quarters ranks as one of the steepest for a president at any point in his first year in office. The highest is Truman’s 19-point drop between his third and fourth quarters, followed by a 15-point drop for Gerald Ford between his first and second quarters. The largest for an elected president in his first year is Bill Clinton’s 11-point slide between his first and second quarters. In Obama's first quarter and second quarter, his job approval average compared favorably with those of prior presidents. But after the drop in his support during the last quarter, his average now ranks near the bottom for presidents at similar points in their presidencies. Only Clinton had a lower third-quarter average among elected presidents. (Gerald Ford averaged 39% during his third quarter in office, in 1975.) | |
