That’s 1 point higher than President Barack Obama’s job approval rating in a poll taken the same week.

Oh for the love of God....

People place much MUCH lighter weight on historic job approvals... I mean Kennedy on 85%? I'm a huge fan of JFK... but I don't believe that 85% people approve of his performance.... how many were alive when he was president?

The two shouldn't be compared. ...and I'd be saying that if Obama were at 65%... because I'm not an irrational hack looking for justification Tongue

47%?!  That seems rather low for someone whose job description currently entails peddling his memoirs and charging people hundreds of dollars to hear him mangle the English language.

I guess you mean hundreds of thousands, right, not hundreds?

Sometimes he goes down to tens of thousands for the mere haves instead of the have mores. But either way, while we might call them elites, he calls them his base.

Yeah, the fact that this story is so popular on Politico says more about the psychological state of Republicans than the state of public opinion. Witness:

I think eventually the American people forget how bad things were, a kind of "The good old days" mentality. But I doubt you'd actually find people who would rather live in the 1800s then right now :/
