George W. Bush was at 86%, in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks

Let's face it went downhill from there fast  .

The poll of 1,025 adults, taken by landline and cellphone, has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

That's a very small sample size, I thought these polls used a far larger sample size.

Anyway, I think the approval ratings are so low due to his slow action sorting out Afghanistan and withdrawing from Iraq. During his campaign a major point he sold himself on was withdrawing from Iraq and focusing on Afghanistan, with eventual aim to pull troops out when Afghanistan is more stable *sniggers*. It's taken him almost a year just to outline the plans. I think people are growing tired of how he is handling this, he's made the war go even more stale if anything, there doesn't seem to be any major progress.

I think the drop in approval was expected on this point alone.

Halogamer, I'm not going to lie, I don't think I annoyed you enough in that post because for the most part I agreed with you; So I'm going to post pictures of some famous communists/socialists .

lol.  I trust Rasmussen better because of a 3 or below sample size + it uses strongly agree/disagree (great measure for the Ind. electorate).  Today's release http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll has him @ -15 down from -19 from earlier this week. 

Btw, I like this 1 better:
