52%? | 10:51 p.m. Nov. 4, 2009
That a much higher approval number than is reported by the Rasmussen poll which
shows Obama's approval rating at about 45% and dropping each week slightly.
But hey, who are you going to believe? Your own eyes or what Obama says?

What?! There are people outside of Utah that don't approve of Obama's
policies? And to hear some folks around here you would think we're the
only idiots, and we all need to think like the rest of the nation....

Bush's #'s were lower than that (signifigantly) when he got
re-elected.

I like Obama, I just don't like most of what he does.

Rasmussen is always the lowest. 52% is about in the middle. Several tracking
polls have Obama pretty steady in mid-50s -- you know, about the same majority
that elected him 9 months ago.

Obama is doing fine and most of America like him. Just because the haters and
the right wing don't, it does not mean he isn't in good shape. The
right-wing spin-meisters are annoying.

It would be nice to stop all the commentary and pitch in and help the situation.
However as Americans, we are more pone to see things only from very limited
point of view...and that is very sad. It would be better to help the President,
but you see our concerns are not really for America to do better.
