What the media doesn’t want you to know: Obama’s 100 Days poll worse than Bush’s

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 days of George W. Bush and Barack Obama is rather informative especially given the highly contentious nature of the 2000 election.

Here are the numbers for other presidents:

April approval ratings in first year in office
Bush now 62% 

Clinton, 1993 55% 

Bush, 1989 58% 

Reagan, 1981 67% 

Carter, 1977 63% 

Nixon, 1969 61%

USA Today: Poll: Public thinks highly of Obama

Chicago Tribune: Obama riding high in polls
