Dunno how reliable this pollster is though. But apparently Manchin is mad popular.

[Nym90]

How the hell are a majority of cons approving of a lib?

Probably the same way that a majority of liberals and Democrats approved of Bush's job performance in the aftermath of 9/11.

[Matt Damon™]

But Obama hasn't even done anything major yet!

[Gravis Marketing]

But Obama hasn't even done anything major yet!

He identified all of his main advisors and the bulk of his Cabinet and helped shape the stimulus bill the House is about to pass.

Well, it's obvious that the Obama presidency has failed.
How long till the RNC puts up a clock ticking to his resignation?

PRESIDENCY IN CRISIS; IS IT TOO SOON TO CALL OBAMA THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY?

[Iosif]

Huh, it appears the Republican party is out of touch with the American public.

Who would've thought?

[Lіef]

LOL Republicans.

[Keystone Phil]

Just under three weeks...

Because we know those historically low approval ratings for the Democrats in Congress over the past two years really hurt them and prevented them from picking up eight seats in the Senate and plenty more in the House...

No. Bacause the Congressional Republicans approval ratings were even worse.

The other major party was considerably less popular though, so that isn't terribly relevant to the current situation.

And the Reoublicans aren't in power now. So, yes, for the time being, it doesn't help their electability argument but if Obama continues to slip and if the Dems in Congress remain unpopular, watch as the GOP ratings go up.

[VP Duke]

They are hanging it all on this stimulus. If it fails, heads will roll. The media will still push the narrative of Obama, though.

The same media where during the Stimulus debate the 2/3 of their guests were Republicans?
the same media where Michael Steele says that the Government has NEVER created jobs and Wolf Blitzer says nothing?

Yeah, totaly in the tank for Obama.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Obama is just about finished, guys. He's only at 76%.

CNN Poll also shows that Obama is still overwhelmingly beloved, the public still hates Republicans and wants them to go away, and a majority still support the stimulus.

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/another-poll-shows-public-approving-obama-disapproving-gop-on-stimulus.php

Obama has a 76% overall job approval and 23% disapproval. On the economy specifically, his rating is 72%-28%. Meanwhile, Congress has a very poor rating of 29%-71% -- but it quickly becomes clear that this should be not be simply laid at the feet of the majority Democrats, and is instead the GOP's fault.

The Democratic leadership in Congress has a solid rating of 60%-39%, while the Republican leaders are at 44%-55%. Furthermore, respondents said by 74%-25% that Obama is doing enough to cooperate with Republicans, while they say by a 60%-39% margin that Republicans are not doing enough to cooperate with him.

As for the stimulus bill itself, it is currently favored by a 54%-45% margin. If it becomes law, 16% expect it to do a lot to help the economy, 48% expect it to help somewhat, and only 20% say it won't help.

edit: aw... Eraserhead beat me.

It's okay, you provided a more detailed presentation.
