Wow, Obama at 39 percent already; just above the average of Bush's second term!

Presidential Approval Ratings -- George W. Bush

Makes no difference they will put their poster boy back in no matter what he does, he can start a few more wars and they will just look the other way.

That's because Obama is alienating liberals. In the end liberals, like conservative did, will come around and vote for him, but if the Republicans elect a "moderate" like Romney, I think a lot of Democrats (myself included) will devote more energy to Congressional races than Republican races. However, if the Republicans choose a Perry or Bachmann, I think that you will see Obama's base lit up again like it was in 2008. Right now, thanks to Romneycare, a lot of Democrats see Obama as a DLC (aka Lieberman or Clinton) Democrat and Romney not much worse.

I didn't think it was that high. Pretty impressive given the half-azzed way he's governed so far.

But it's still more than twice as better than Congress at a composite 16.8:

Wow, you know he's in trouble when his supporters are comparing his approval rating to members of congress, and Sarah Palin.

I said it when he got elected. With high expectations and lots of promises, comes the potential for a cliff like fall. If conditions 1 year from now are similar to today, then he might want to work on his resume. If they improve, then he'll be able to pick out a new rug for his office.

"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."

Interestingly Obama polls higher in Alaska than Palin, not that I expect him to carry that state, but more about how Alaskans view Palin.

Well Romney came in like 7th in that little poll they held in Iowa over the weekend. He finished behind the pizza guy who doesn't like to read in fact. For perspective, he won it in 2007.

Something tells me that Obama isn't left sleepless in fear of a general election involving himself and Bachman or Paul.

Not really. More an acknowledgement (and a reminder) that virtually all sitting politicians are in deep doo-doo.

It's interesting to me that people will point to Obama's low numbers as proof that he's failing, that people are disillusioned, that Americans don't support him and then crow about how The Tea Party is the answer - that The Tea Party is rising in American favor, that they, and they alone, hold the key to solving all the current problems - and totally ignore the fact that most of the sitting Tea Party representatives are polling lower than Obama.

You can't rationally say that one is popular and one is unpopular when they are, in truth, the same.
