Does it bug liberals that Bush had 62% approval at this point of his...

...presidency & Obama has 45%? http://www.gallup.com/poll/politics.aspx
And Bush senior had 72%?

[vrzz]

No.

What bugs Liberals is the fact that Bush took a surplus and the lowest unemployment in history and somehow managed to flush it all down the toilet.

[Hector Frodo]

Not a bit. Bush started an illegal war and called himself a "War President". Does it bug conservatives that they worship a lying president who didn't keep America safe?

[Nirvana]

Why would it bug us? Its an opinion. Everyone has one.

[John H]

And the unemployment rate was half as much as it is now. And he took heat for it.

More importantly why do we care. Approval ratings are a waste of our time, they don't tell the general public anything important. Looking at past ratings only proves that they tell you one thing only- they don't matter. Whether the public approves of the president is no indicator of whether he is doing a good job or not. Since most people have no idea why or how the world works-economics, foreign policy, etc. it is only an indicator of who is doing a better pr job at the moment- the fors or the againsts.

Fox News says it's 47%. But no it doesn't bug me, it's still higher approval than Clinton or Reagan had at the same point and they got re-elected

[Poboy]

No, not bugged at all.

Just like the only poll that counts is the one in November '12, the only approval rating is the one that takes place the day after a President leaves office.

W: worst President ever

O: Incomplete

Check back in '17 and we can talk again.

It doesn't bug me
It just means there are more uninformed FOX NEWS viewers than I had previously thought

Don't use facts it only confuses them and makes the yell louder.
