Which poll? I showed you the Gallup website, not some citation of it. The Gallup website says: Obama's average weekly job ratings have varied only slightly thus far, ranging from 61% to 67%. You think Gallup is lying about itself? LOL.

Also, again straight from Gallup and not through some BS Washington Times filter... PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama's first quarter in office concludes on Sunday, and during this early stage of his presidency he has averaged a solid 63% job approval, reaching as high as 69% in the initial days of his presidency and falling as low as 59% on a few occasions. Obama's 63% first-quarter average matches the historical average of 63% for elected presidents' first quarters since 1953. However, it is the fourth highest for a newly elected president since that time, and the highest since Jimmy Carter's 69% in 1977. The historical first-quarter average includes two presidents whose scores exceeded 70% (John Kennedy's 74% and Dwight Eisenhower's 71%). gallup.com

Ok, got to the bottom of it - you were punked by the lying Washington Times. These lies were picked up by Faux News. When are you gonna turn that crap off? Turned out some idiot right winger took a different question about Obama - not the traditional approval rating that can be compared historically, but a question where people were asked to give Obama a rating (eg. 'Excellent', 'Good', 'Fair', etc) 56% responded Excellent or Good. They pulled that number out, and declared it an approval rating, and started comparing it to other real historical approval ratings. Sounds like a real Dick Morris thing to do. What a crock of horsepucky. You guys are sheep for listening to those crackpots.
