Gallup's back up to 63-27, after 59-30 a few days ago.

Hardly a surprise. Even the Republicans, of the non-Michelle-Bachmann variety, admit that his European trip has been a success until now.

Except for the part where he blames America for everything.

I DARE him to come back on American soil and call America "arrogant." Let's see what kind of reaction he would get. He'd be lucky not to get a shoe thrown at him. Instead he plays right into the hands of the Anti-American Europeans.

Arrogant is too mild a word to describe George W. Bush's America.

If you want to live into a fantasy world where your country invades a sovereign nation under false pretenses, ignores and belittles its allies and precipitates the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and yet you admire it, then be my guest.

How is your crowd called? Delusional, flag waving, ultra-nationalist defenders of ''Manifest Destiny''?
Or perhaps the ''White Resentment Appreciation Association''?

Grow up man! The 80's are over and Ronald Reagan is still dead.
And I hate to break it to you, but the greatest country on earth is owed by China. So get used to some ass kissing.

Alot have only became anti-American because of George W Bush. I don't know about the rest of Europe, but here in the UK, generally, there's been more respect for America since November 4th.

Only America would elect George W. There is just a special breed of people here who simply cannot stand the thought of their president being more intelligent than they are.

That doesn't mean you cannot criticize America.  I'm certainly not member of the "Blame America first crowd" (partly because it doesn't exist); America has made a lot of mistakes, especially in the way it has handled the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It is foolish to think that America is infallible, because it isn't.

Did anyone expect Kentucky to give Obama a strong positive approval rating indefinitely?

While the crosstabs of this poll look very weird (young voters strongly disapprove of Obama, olds approve), I think the overall approval is more accurate for KY than what SUSA showed a week ago.

...

New York Times/CBS poll:

66% Approve
24% Disapprove

This poll was conducted among a random sample of 998 adults nationwide, interviewed by
telephone April 1-5, 2009.

I know that's really high, but I really think it should be higher for the UK.

It's an adult poll, so it shouldn't be that surprising or far off from reality (more minorities, more non-citizens, more youngster, therefore the sample is more Democratic).

Even if you adjust it for 2008 Exit poll data, his numbers are at 63-27 ...
