Hmmm... maybe I'm getting old and remembered this wrong. It looks like his approval ratings spiked after 9/11 and after we invaded Iraq, but followed a path of steady decline after those boosts. I would have thought the horrible effort from the Government for Hurricane Katrina victims (August 23, 2005 – August 30, 2005) would have been a huge negative blip, but it wasn't. gallup.com Presidential Approval Ratings -- George W. Bush George W. Bush Presidential Job Approval huffingtonpost.com DEBATING AN OBAMA JOB APPROVAL CHART - The National Journal's Brian McGill and George Condon produce a chart of the Obama approval trend line from the Gallup Daily tracking poll annotated with various news events during the year. The chart appeared under the headline, "Why Obama's Approval Rating Is Down." [ National Journal] My guess is the approval ratings in the second term reflect the overall economic health of the voters. They did well under Reagan and Clinton and not so well under Obama and Bush. It is possible that Bush and Obama BOTH suffer the effects of Clinton reducing CIA spending and changing the laws that allowed investment banks to gamble with FDIC dollars... but that is probably a whole other can of political debate worms. -grin-
