Obama's Job Approval Polls

The Gallup poll has Obama at 67% approval and 28% disapproval (http://www.gallup.com/) and Rasmussen Reports (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/) has him at 54% and 45%.

Who really knows? But I can't imagine the Gallup poll could possible be accurate. He lost 46% of the vote to McCain in November. Essentially, you would have to have millions of Conservative GOP and independents saying Obama's doing a great job charting trillion dollar deficits and helping usher in a coming depression. I know personal anecdote is not scientific but my sense from the people I know is that their concern is growing rapidly.

If Obama's basing policies on the thought that he has a sweeping mandate based on the Gallup poll, he has a rude awakening in store. I hope...
