Approval Ratings

Much has been made lately of President Bush's "historically low" approval ratings. The results of the three most recent polls are; • ABC/Washington Post 1/13-16 2009, 33% • CNN/Opinion Research 1/12-15 2009, 31% • Fox/Opinion Dynamics 1/13-14 2009, 34% • Average rating = 32.7% As a point of comparison, let's look at the Democrat controlled congress approval ratings. The results of the three most recent polls are; • Fox/Opinion Dynamics 1/13-14 2009, 23% • NBC/Wall Street Journal 1/9-12 2009, 23% • USA Today/Gallup 1/9-11 2009, 19% • Average rating 21.7% I could accurately state that the President Bush's approval rating is 50% higher than the Democrat controlled congress. President Bush is leaving office, the Democrat congress is staying. Who do you think should be in the news?
