Re: Obama job approval is HISTORICALLY LOW
If you look at Sdaniels link, and open it up for Obama's complete history of his approval rating, you can see he's trending downward. He's at an average of +25, so look at his past months and see where his numbers are mostly sitting, versus now. Furthermore, click on the individual polls, and see where his numbers are trending there as well. In each, his disaproval rating has mostly risen by double. Historically speaking, presidents always enjoy good ratings early in their presidency. I'd venture to guess that Obama will get a longer leesh than most, considering both the times, and the histroical significance of his election. Picking one poll out of 10 is cherry picking. So I think looking at the trends more fluidly, will give you a better idea of what's going on. Either way, it's a poll, and we all know what I think of those.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
