OBAMA'S POLL NUMBERS TRAIL THOSE OF W.; GALLUP COVERS IT UP

Gallup reports that 56% of the public believes that Obama is doing an excellent/good job. Gallup reported 62% approved of George W. Bush's job performance after the first 100 days. MSM tells us how popular Barack Obama is but the numbers tell a different story especially when used comparatively. Comparing the Gallup poll taken following the first 100 day of George W. Bush and Barack Obama is rather informative especially given the highly contentious nature of the 2000 election.

It took me a second to figure out where the discrepancy was. To all of my fellow poll freaks, see if you can figure it out. ;)

My reply the author of the article (which explains where her twisting of the truth is) is here....

Schneider: Is Obama the superpresident?

:rofl: It's not bad, except the last line. Snark, 'cause he has to. But Obama, personally, has charmed our world with his charm and intelligence. How cool is that?!
