OBAMA'S POLL NUMBERS TRAIL THOSE OF W.; GALLUP COVERS IT UP

Gallup reports that 56% of the public believes that Obama is doing an excellent/good job. Gallup reported 62% approved of George W. Bush's job performance after the first 100 days. MSM tells us how popular Barack Obama is but the numbers tell a different story especially when used comparatively. Comparing the Gallup poll taken following the first 100 day of George W. Bush and Barack Obama is rather informative especially given the highly contentious nature of the 2000 election.

Here are the numbers for other presidents:

April approval ratings in first year in office

Bush now 62%
Clinton, 1993 55
Bush, 1989 58
Reagan, 1981 67
Carter, 1977 63
Nixon, 1969 61
Sampling error: +/-3% pts

Now justify these headlines:

Gallup: First-100-Days-Obama-Meets-Exceeds-Expectations. By the way, the wording of the question is most suspect as many (including me) expected him to do just as poorly as he is doing. But Gallup is going even further. It uses his daily tracking poll to cover up the results of the 100 day poll.

USAToday:poll: Public thinks highly of Obama

Chicago Tribune: Obama riding high in polls

The CNN headline for W. at the time was: Poll shows praise for Bush in most cases

Here are some more of the W. numbers:

Has vision 74%
Can get things done 69
Tough enough 68
Honest and trustworthy 67
Strong leader 60
Cares about people 59%
Shares your values 58
Keeps his promises 57
Understands issues 56
Inspires confidence 55
Sampling error: +/-3% pts

The same discrepancy can be found in the celebration of Michelle popularity. 79% approve of her performance compared to 85% that approved of Laura Bush.

Ergo? Much of America is still willing to give Obama time to prove himself even if 80% admit that his economic policies will harm their children and grand children and the rest are concerned about his reckless spending.

It should noted that Obama has the largest partisan split in his approval rating in modern history. There is a 61 point gap. 88 for the Democrats and 27 with the Republicans.

Maybe it's the TV viewers he's upsetting!

Primetime Obama costing networks millions

Approaching his 100th day in office, President Obama has asked the broadcast networks for airtime for a news conference to air next Wednesday evening. It's likely he'll get that request granted but you can almost see the network presidents gritting their teeth and assenting.

This would be the fourth such presser for Obama (he's averaging one a month now). The past three have cost the ABCBSNBCFOX about $30 million bucks total as Lisa de Moraes

The man needs an audience to feed his ego, no matter what it costs the tax payers in jet fuel or the networks in air time. He is going to run eveyone into the ground just to feed his ego.

did you see the new painting that's coming out for his first 100 days.

and this is no joke, it will be interesting to see how the Obama administration deals with this one:

obama-messiah.jpg


NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael D'Antuono may raise more questions than answers when he unveils his highly controversial new painting, "The Truth" on the South Plaza of NYC's Union Square on the 100th day of Barack Obama's presidency. The artist's politically-, religiously- and socially-charged statement on our nation's current political climate and deep partisan divide has been privately raising eyebrows (and voices) since its creation.

Does anybody remember all the claims of the liberals shortly after the election of how he had "united" this country? They were wrong AGAIN.

It's more serious than that Hopalong.

If you investigate how this artist has been reasoning this portrait, " the Truth",

Some will say he's the "Messiah", and others will say he has been sacrificed.

The artist claims, everybody will find "truth" in this portrait.

Good for them, I'll say it right now, it's a lie, that no one should believe in.

For many reasons, it should offend all.

If you agree with it, then you do not believe in Freedom of Religion, enough said!

That just shows what sore losers and crybabies the Republicans have become.

The viewing was cancelled. Painter Michael D'Antuono has cancelled the planned public unveiling of his latest work "The Truth" at NYC's Union Square Park on President Obama's 100th day in office due to overwhelming public outrage.
