The Daily Graphic: Obama Approval After One Month Still High, Though Disapproval Has Doubled
From the Gallup release yesterday:
President Barack Obama remains highly popular among the U.S. public at the end of his first month in office. However, the 63% of Americans currently approving of his job performance is down slightly from his initial 68% rating in January. The percentage disapproving has doubled, from 12% to 24%.
The Daily Graphic: George W. Bush Approval Rating Over Eight Years
Yeah, yeah. I know, old news. I got to thinking though after hearing some of Barack Obama’s initial approval ratings about a cool graphic presentation in the Wall Street Journal around Inauguration Day. They were charts like the one below for Bush which showed ratings over time overlaid with the big news events of the day as well as one chart with all post WWII presidents together.
