Re: ["What 'style', Rattler?"] "Snide style"

LOL! (Can't argue with a perception like that! Yes, Ive been known for 'Snarky' before.... Eye of the beholder though. :-)

Re: "Fact? Perhaps"

No 'perhaps' about it.

These ARE the poll results for the first two years of each President (Reagan and Obama). Exact same poll, exact same pollster, same questions.

The results are simply overlaid on ONE CHART for ease of reference:



Now, what does it mean? This tremendous similarity in the polling numbers for these two Presidents in their first two years in office?

Well... as I have suggested, perhaps it's it's the ECONOMY, the RECESSIONS.

Both Presidents were facing steep Recessions after they were sworn into office
.

(And, the Reagan era recession is the only one since the Great Depression that matches the severity of our current recession, Rattler. This cannot be an accident and I believe it's what accounts for the near match in the poll's trend lines when the polling data for the two Presidents are overlaid.)
