Obama has 6-month approval of 63 percent

[Swede]

More than 60 percent of U.S. residents approve of the job President Barack Obama has done in his first six months in office, a Gallup Poll indicates.

Sixty-three percent of respondents approve of Obama's performance, results released Monday indicate.

In a state-by-state breakdown, Obama's approval rating was above 50 percent in all but two states -- Wyoming and Alaska, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said. His highest approval ratings were in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Vermont, Maryland, and Massachusetts, Gallup said.

9. Our so-called Left-Wing Media says IT'S FALLING, IT'S DOWN, !!1!11!

Careful not to say that it's 63%, that it's high, and those drops in points can be the margin of error for a number that high.

But, nope, they won't say that or that it's 63%.

M$M you suck, and we need to get rid of your news denial service just as we need to get rid of our health denial insurers inaptly called a service industry.

11. Um, this poll is an average from January to June. His approval is now 53%

The article makes clear that it's talking about Gallup tracking.

Today, August 17th, President Obama's job approval is 53% (link), which is still good, but different.

OP should clarify.

:rofl:
